How does migrants’ social embeddedness influence non-migrants’ attitudes? Although research on intergroup relations has considered the effects of various dimensions of migrants’ lives, often measured by economic and cultural traits, social embeddedness, defined by the composition of interpersonal relationships, has received relatively less attention. We consider two types of social embeddedness and hypothesize that non-migrants will positively view migrants who are more socially embedded with non-migrants. In contrast, theory suggests that co-ethnic social embeddedness will result in a more negative view. Using a conjoint analysis in the UK, results show that non-migrant’s do indeed have more positive attitudes towards a hypothetical migrant who is socially embedded with non-migrants. However, co-ethnic social embeddedness does not result in a more negative perception.

社会嵌入会影响对移民的态度吗？英国一项调查实验的证据


移民的社会嵌入如何影响非移民的态度？尽管群体间关系的研究考虑了移民生活各个方面的影响（通常通过经济和文化特征来衡量），但由人际关系构成定义的社会嵌入性受到的关注相对较少。我们考虑了两种类型的社会嵌入，并假设非移民会积极看待与非移民社会嵌入程度更高的移民。相反，理论表明，同族社会嵌入会导致更消极的观点。在英国进行的一项联合分析结果表明，非移民确实对与非移民社会融为一体的假设移民抱有更积极的态度。然而，同族社会嵌入并不会导致更负面的看法。
