Are newcomers welcomed? Discrimination, social identity, and supportive attitudes towards newcomers’ arrival among immigrants residing in Belgium
Exploring double standards in ethnicity, migration and intercultural relations
This Special Issue examines the concept of ‘double standards’ in ethnicity, migration and intercultural relations, focusing on the uneven application of principles or expectations to similar groups or situations. Amid growing discussions on its relevance to intergroup conflicts and humanitarian crises on a global scale, the issue explores how double standards emerge in diverse socio-historical and political contexts, legitimizing unequal treatmen…
Feelings of Recognition and Long‐Term Engagement in Favour of Refugees
Solidarity‐based actions are an important source of refugee support in receiving societies across the globe. Given the impact these actions can have on improving refugees' living circumstances, it is of paramount importance to understand what contributes to advantaged group members' decisions to engage in solidarity initiatives and stay committed over time. Specifically, we examine two different sources of feelings of recognition (recognition by …
To re-root or not to re-root after migration? Longitudinal effects of transnational friendship on immigrants' life satisfaction through acculturative processes
Sharing is caring
To lodge displaced people from Ukraine, national authorities in Europe turned to homestay accommodation to expand reception capacity. This paper adopts a micro-level approach to examine the experiences of local hosts in Belgium and Switzerland using a sequential explanatory mixed-methods design. Quantitative analysis of 754 survey responses revealed both positive experiences and key challenges, including difficulties with rule-making, intercultur…
A multi-level mixed-methods research design in studying localised experiences of asylum seekers
The purpose of this methodological paper is to share our experiences with setting up a multi-level mixed methods design in studying localised experiences of asylum seekers in reception centres. Using Belgium as a case study, we apply a multi-level analysis approach that integrates micro-, meso-, and macro-level dimensions. The micro-level focuses on asylum seekers’ lived experiences, the meso-level examines their social networks and the support t…

Are we really going to get out of Covid-19 together? Secured legal status and trust among refugees and migrants
Building up on pre-existing vulnerabilities and social exclusions, refugees and migrants are disproportionately suffering from the negative effects of the COVID-19 outbreak. Insecure legal status is an additional stressor that may accentuate social cleavages and ultimately impair their trust in host society and institutions. Based on a diverse sample of refugees and migrants in Belgium (N = 355), the present study investigates direct and indirect…
Who is willing to help Ukrainian refugees and why? The role of individual prosocial dispositions and superordinate European identity
In 2022, Europe experienced unprecedented citizen mobilizations to help Ukrainian refugees. Based on two parallel lines of scholarship, we examined individual prosocial dispositions and superordinate identities related to intentions to help Ukrainians. Employing a French‐speaking student sample in Belgium ( N = 374), in Study 1, we showed that dispositional prosociality and European identification were both positively related to intentions to hel…
Social control and solidarity during the Covid ‐19 pandemic
The COVID-19 pandemic is a crisis which called for two crucial modes of social regulation: social control and social solidarity . In the present pre-registered study, we examine how the perceived non-compliance with health measures relates to attitudes towards these modes of social regulation, as well as to the role played by the perception of disintegrated and disregulated society ( anomie ). Using data from an online cross-sectional survey cond…
From perceived polarization of immigration attitudes to collective action
The ambivalent relations behind civil society's engagement in the "grey zones" of migration and integration governance
Les initiatives citoyennes de soutien aux migrants en Belgique. De l’humanitaire à la contestation politique
À l’instar de nombreux pays européens, la Belgique fait face depuis 2015 à l’arrivée de migrants marqués par une extrême vulnérabilité. Leur accueil a amené les sociétés européennes à se polariser autour de la question migratoire et a suscité de larges débats portant sur la gestion sécuritaire des migrations et les réponses humanitaires à apporter. Dans ce contexte, la Belgique a vu fleurir de nombreuses initiatives citoyennes désirant combler le…
If you want to be one of us, then become like us
Immigrant naturalization is a rite of passage, making assimilationist attitudes particularly pronounced among host nationals. Three experimental studies investigate whether heritage culture maintenance violates expectations that citizenship should be deserved by proving strong attachment to the host nation (i.e., neoliberal communitarianism). Study 1 ( N = 293) demonstrates that naturalization applicants’ high degree of heritage culture maintenan…
The social network of solidarity with migrants
Using an ego‐centered network approach, we examine across two studies whether and how injunctive network norm s—behaviors that are approved by alters—are related to majority members’ decisions to participate in helping actions supporting migrants. We hypothesize that the more people perceive their personal social networks as positive toward humanitarian actions for migrants, the more they consider their opinions on migration issues as self‐defini…
The Refugee Reception Crisis
The refugee question occupied centre stage at every political debate in Europe since 2015. Starting from the "long summer of migration", the polarization of opinions and attitudes towards asylum seekers among citizens of the EU has grown increasingly. The divergence between hospitality and hostility has also become evident in political reactions
Intergroup conflict self-perpetuates via meaning
We investigated whether violent conflict provides individuals with a sense of meaning that they are hesitant to let go of, thus contributing to the perpetuation of intergroup conflict. Across a wide variety of contexts, we found that making intergroup conflict salient increased the meaning people found in conflict and, in turn, increased support for conflict-perpetuating beliefs, ideologies, policies, and behaviors. These effects were detected am…
