Abstract

Having a strong attachment to Europe might be crucial in understanding support for policies affecting ethnic minorities and migrants arriving in Europe. However, research examining this link is limited. In 4 out of 5 studies ( N = 1,469), including correlational and experimental data, we found that greater European attachment was associated with support for restrictive policies such as border closures or increased security. These relationships were consistently explained by higher perceptions of realistic threat. European attachment did not show a significant association with support for inclusive policies such as those promoting the integration of cultural diversity or granting rights to minorities, in 4 out of 5 studies. However, meta-analytical integration of the data revealed a significant averaged indirect relationship: European attachment was associated with less support for inclusive policies via increased realistic threat. We discuss these findings while considering the sociopolitical context and the practical implications for Europe’s commitment to human rights.

欧洲对少数民族和移民的依附与限制与包容政策:感知威胁的中介作用

对欧洲有强烈的依恋可能对理解对影响少数民族和抵达欧洲的移民的政策的支持至关重要。然而，研究这种联系的研究是有限的。在五分之四的研究(N = 1469)中，包括相关和实验数据，我们发现，更大的欧洲依恋与支持边境关闭或加强安全等限制性政策有关。这些关系一直可以用对现实威胁的更高感知来解释。在五分之四的研究中，对欧洲的依恋与支持包容性政策(如促进文化多样性融合或赋予少数民族权利)没有显着关联。然而，数据的元分析整合揭示了一个显著的平均间接关系:欧洲依恋与通过增加现实威胁而减少对包容性政策的支持有关。我们在讨论这些发现的同时，考虑到社会政治背景和对欧洲人权承诺的实际影响。
