?:abstract
  • "The major objective of the present research is to examine the long-standing theoretical proposition that hostility and discriminatory attitudes toward outgroups are likely to rise with relative size of the out-group population. Using data from The German General Social Survey (1996) we provide, for the first time, an examination of the impact of both actual and perceived size of the foreign population on discriminatory attitudes toward foreigners. Specifically, by using a multiple-indicators analytical model, we examine the theoretical proposition that perceived threat posed by an outgroup population mediates the relations between size of the out-group and exclusionary attitudes toward the outgroup. The analysis does not support the theoretical expectation that actual size of the foreign population in the locale is likely to increase either perception of threat or exclusionary attitudes. Perceived size, however, is found to be associated, as expected, with perceived threat, and perceived threat is found to mediate the relations between perceived size and support for exclusionary practices against foreigners - the higher the perceived size, the more pronounced are both the threat and anti-foreigner attitudes. The findings and their significance are discussed in the light of the sociological theories on the relations between minority size and discrimination." Datengrundlage ist der ALLBUS 1996.
