Abstract

To investigate the specific events and processes that contribute to volunteering in refugee aid, we conducted a qualitative study with volunteers in Germany (N = 220). Participants described in their own words critical incidents that motivated them to volunteer. Content analysis revealed contact with refugees (spatial closeness or conversation), contact with non-refugees (volunteers or xenophobic persons), media experiences (reports about refugees or calls for action), and biographical incidents (own migration or major life changes) as key experiences. The results provide valuable insights into experiences that motivate people to volunteer in refugee aid, which supports integration processes of refugees and asylum-seekers.

难民援助志愿者的重要经验

摘要为了调查难民援助志愿服务的具体事件和过程，我们对德国的志愿者(N = 220)进行了定性研究。参与者用他们自己的话描述了促使他们做志愿者的关键事件。内容分析显示，与难民的接触(空间亲密或对话)、与非难民(志愿者或仇外者)的接触、媒体经历(关于难民或行动呼吁的报道)和传记事件(自己的移民或重大生活变化)是关键经历。研究结果为激发人们自愿参与难民援助的经验提供了宝贵的见解，这有助于难民和寻求庇护者的融合进程。
