摘要

在过去的二十年里，梦想者已经成为政策和政治的推动力。民意调查显示，大多数美国人对追梦者持积极态度——比他们对移民的态度更普遍。这项研究表明，出生年龄是这种支持的一个重要驱动特征。2019年，我进行了一项两波调查实验，在实验中，受访者阅读了一篇关于11岁或21岁时移民的无证移民的新闻报道。在较低的到达年龄条件下，受访者对移民的支持程度更高;这种影响在那些总体上更反对移民的人群中最为明显。2021年进行的第二轮两波调查探讨了到达年龄影响背后的两种可能机制:对(A)同化和(b)责任归属的态度。结果被认为与正在进行的关于梦想家的辩论、媒体报道和对移民的态度有关。

The American Dreamers: The Effects of Media Coverage of Immigrants’ Age-at-Arrival

The Dreamers have become a driving force of policy and politics in the last two decades. Public opinion polls suggest that most Americans hold favorable attitudes towards Dreamers—more favorable than their attitudes about immigrants more broadly. This study suggests that age-at-arrival is a significant driving characteristic of this support. In 2019, I ran a 2-wave survey experiment in which respondents read a news story about an undocumented immigrant that either migrated at eleven or 21 years old. Respondents in the lower age-at-arrival condition reported more support for the immigrant; and this effect was most pronounced among those who were more opposed to immigration in general. A second 2-wave survey conducted in 2021 explored two possible mechanisms behind the impact of age-at-arrival: attitudes towards (a) assimilation and (b) attribution of responsibility. Results are considered as they relate to ongoing debates about Dreamers, media coverage, and attitudes about immigration.
