Abstract

People can display negative reactions towards those who challenge their sense of psychological ownership. We tested whether natives would show negativity towards refugees upon perceiving collective ownership threat (COT)—the fear of losing control over a territory that is perceived to be “ours”—in the context of mass immigration (Syrian refugees in Turkey; total N = 1,598). Correlational Studies 1 and 2 demonstrated COT to be associated with intolerance and negative reactions towards refugees through negative intergroup emotions (anger specifically). Preregistered experimental studies demonstrated that while there was no causal effect of COT in neighborhoods with relatively high refugee concentration (Study 3a), COT decreased outgroup tolerance and increased defensive reactions towards Syrian refugees via outgroup anger among a more general community sample (Study 3b). The wider intergroup implications of the fear of losing one’s sense of territorial ownership are discussed.
当他们想要夺走属于“我们”的东西时:集体所有权威胁和对难民的负面反应
人们可能会对那些挑战他们心理主人翁意识的人表现出负面反应。在大规模移民的背景下,我们测试了当地人在感知集体所有权威胁(COT)时是否会对难民表现出消极态度,即担心失去对被视为“我们”的领土的控制(土耳其的叙利亚难民;总人数=1598)。相关研究1和2表明,COT与群体间负面情绪(特别是愤怒)对难民的不容忍和负面反应有关。预先注册的实验研究表明,虽然COT在难民集中度相对较高的社区没有因果影响(研究3a),但在更普遍的社区样本中,COT通过群体外愤怒降低了群体外容忍度,并增加了对叙利亚难民的防御反应(研究3b)。讨论了对失去领土归属感的恐惧所带来的更广泛的群体间影响。
