Abstract
Contextual diversity is considered a prime source of perceived threat from immigrants. Contact theory by contrast suggests that diverse contexts decrease threat by offering opportunities for intergroup contact. Empirical evidence largely shows the effect of positive or negative contact while in reality casual contact, i.e., superficial involuntary contact that does not feature close relationships, is the predominant form of contact. Using data from Turkey on attitudes toward Syrian immigrants, we show that when casual contact is frequent, threat perceptions rise. Our findings invite revisions to the scope conditions of contact theory and the mechanisms behind conflict theory.
反移民态度:群体间偶然接触在群体威胁感知中的作用
摘要语境多样性被认为是感知移民威胁的主要来源。相比之下，接触理论认为，不同的环境通过提供群体间接触的机会来减少威胁。经验证据在很大程度上显示了积极或消极接触的影响，而在现实中，偶然接触，即不具有亲密关系的表面非自愿接触，是主要的接触形式。利用土耳其对叙利亚移民态度的数据，我们表明，当偶然接触频繁时，威胁感就会上升。我们的研究结果要求对接触理论的范围条件和冲突理论背后的机制进行修订。
