Subjects
Refugees -- Social aspects -- Political aspects, Psychology and mental health
Abstract

The introduction provides an overview of the so called 'refugee crisis' in Germany. For the purpose of the study the term 'refugee' is clarified. The following section briefly reviews previous research findings about attitudes towards different ethnicities and about correlated constructs: tolerance of ambiguity, conspiracist ideation, internal and external political efficacy. Scales for the measurement of the respective constructs were incorporated into an online-questionnaire, which was completed by a total of 437 respondents. Based on results of outlier-statistics, data sets of 419 cases were analyzed with structural equation modelling. The suggested model featured good fit statistics. The main finding was that external political efficacy as well as tolerance of role ambiguity were positively correlated with the attitude towards refugees. These findings are discussed in relation to the results of the 2017 German federal elections. The discussion section concludes with the recommendation for a replication study with a more representative sample., Author(s): Günter Molz [sup.1] , Michael Stiller Author Affiliations: (1) grid.7787.f, 0000 0001 2364 5811, University of Wuppertal, , Gaußstr. 20, 42119, Wuppertal, Germany Since September 2015 the so called [...]
