What determines attitudes to immigration in European countries? An analysis at the regional level (2013, background): “When age exerts significant influence, it is always positively correlated to prejudices and anti-immigration attitudes (Hempstead and Espenshade 1996; Burns and Gimpel 2000; Pichler 2010).”
Economic and Cultural Drivers of Immigrant Support Worldwide (2017, background): “23 Abowd and Freeman 1991; Borjas and Freeman 1992; Citrin et al. 1997; Espenshade and Calhoun 1993; Foner 1964; Higham 1988[1955]; Olzak 1992; Burns and Gimpel 2000.”
Do concerns about labor market competition shape attitudes toward immigration? New evidence☆ (2015, neutral): “The results are more consistent with alternative accounts emphasizing non-economic concerns among voters associated with ethnocentrism or sociotropic considerations about the effects of immigration on the country as a whole (Bauer et al., 2000; Burns and Gimpel, 2000; Dustmann and Preston, 2007).”
Foreign Language Exposure, Cultural Threat, and Opposition to Immigration (2012, neutral): “…perceptual variables (e.g., subjective economic evaluations and perceived economic and cultural threats, etc.) on immigration policy attitudes (Burns & Gimpel, 2000; Citrin et al., 1990; Espenshade & Hempstead, 1996; Esses, Jackson, & Armstrong, 1998; Sniderman et al., 2004; Stephan et al.,…”
The effect of perceived cultural and material threats on ethnic preferences in immigration attitudes (2015, background): “As a result, the differential effects of the two threat dimensions are masked when pooled, typically yielding an overall greater effect for the latter in most analyses (Burns and Gimpel 2000; McLaren and Johnson 2007; Hainmueller and Hiscox 2010).”
Economic Explanations for Opposition to Immigration: Distinguishing between Prevalence and Conditional Impact (2013, result): “12 Note also that some of the studies in Table A1 report a correlation between opposition to immigration and negative views about the state of the national economy (e.g., Burns and Gimpel 2000; Citrin et al. 1997 ).”
The Big Five Personality Traits and Attitudes towards Immigrants (2014, background): “According to realistic conflict theory, some groups, such as highly educated people, are less likely to be in direct labour market competition with immigrants and thus should not feel particularly threatened by them economically (Burns and Gimpel 2000).”
Comparing Immigration Policies: An Overview from the IMPALA Database 1 (2016, background): “…differences or perceived threats to traditional culture and values, and a decline of “social capital” and trust, that may generate demands for more restrictive immigration policies (Burns and Gimpel 2000; Fetzer 2000; Chandler and Tsai 2001; Huntington 2004; Dustmann and Preston 2007; Putnam 2007).”
Attitudes toward Highly Skilled and Low-skilled Immigration: Evidence from a Survey Experiment (2010, background): “Notice that the predictions from Empirical studies have found mixed results when testing this model (Burns and Gimpel 2000; Citrin et al. 1997; Dustmann and Preston 2006; Fetzer 2000; Gang, Rivera-Batiz, and Yun 2002; Harwood 1986), although two prominent articles have recently reported strong…”
‘Some are more equal than others’: economic egalitarianism and welfare chauvinism in the Netherlands (2010, background): “Consequently, according to the ethnic competition theory, these lower-educated natives will adopt a negative stance towards ethnic minorities in order to protect their own, or their own group’s position (Burns and Gimpel, 2000; Esses et al., 2006).”
Who Can Enter? A Multilevel Analysis on Public Support for Immigration Criteria across 20 European Countries (2009, background): “Insofar as public opinion exerts pressure on new immigration policies (e.g. Burns & Gimpel, 2000; De Vreese & Boomgaarden, 2005), the investigation of European citizens’ attitudes towards admission criteria for immigrants is critical.”
Testing a New Theoretical Model for Attitudes Toward Immigrants (2016, background): “…immigration policy focuses on the views of the local people regarding rules of admission, naturalization, and allocation of rights to immigrants (Burns & Gimpel, 2000; Gorodzeisky, 2013; Gorodzeisky & Semyonov, 2009; Levanon & Lewin-Epstein, 2010; O’Rourke & Sinnott, 2006; Raijman, 2013;…”
