By August 2023, the global population of Venezuelan migrants and refugees had reached 7.7 million. This constitutes one of the world largest migration movements in the recent decades and is arguably the most significant one in the context of South–South migration. This paper investigates adaptation attitudes of Venezuelan migrants as well as the attitudes towards their adaptation among Peruvian neighbours living in Peru. Furthermore, we explore the importance of optimism and intergroup relations for the adaptation attitudes. For this purpose, we designed and conducted a survey among Venezuelan migrants and their Peruvian neighbours in Peru between April and May 2023. Significant differences in adaptation attitudes were identified between migrants and their native neighbours. Venezuelans exhibited a greater proclivity towards positive adaptation whereas their neighbours demonstrated a tendency to marginalize or separate migrants. This can potentially lead to give rise to heightened conflict between two populations, thereby becoming a significant factor driving further migration of Venezuelans to other countries. However, optimism emerged as significant factor in shaping adaptation attitudes across both populations.

在秘鲁的委内瑞拉人：适应态度、乐观态度以及与东道国社会的关系


截至 2023 年 8 月，委内瑞拉移民和难民的全球人口已达到 770 万。这是近几十年来世界上最大的移民运动之一，可以说是南南移民背景下最重要的移民运动。本文调查了委内瑞拉移民的适应态度以及居住在秘鲁的秘鲁邻国对他们的适应态度。此外，我们探讨了乐观和群体间关系对适应态度的重要性。为此，我们在 2023 年 4 月至 5 月期间对委内瑞拉移民及其在秘鲁的秘鲁邻国设计并进行了一项调查。发现移民与其本地邻居之间的适应态度存在显著差异。委内瑞拉人表现出更强的积极适应倾向，而他们的邻国则表现出将移民边缘化或分离的倾向。这可能导致两个人口之间的冲突加剧，从而成为推动委内瑞拉人进一步迁移到其他国家的重要因素。然而，乐观情绪成为塑造两个人群适应态度的重要因素。
