Are there limits to empathy? A survey experiment on empathic concern and perspective-taking as bases for attitudes towards different groups of refugees
This article examines how empathic concern and perspective-taking influence different exclusionary attitudes towards refugees. More specifically, we investigate how empathic competence underpins social distance towards refugees and the opposition to granting them civil rights. Furthermore, we explore the potential constraints of this relationship by investigating the moderating role of different refugee characteristics via a survey-experimental a…
Reference group effects and parental educational expectations
Taking the well-documented high educational expectations among immigrant parents as a point of departure, we explore how average achievement in a class influences parental educational expectations. Specifically, we investigate whether reference group (i.e., big-fish-little-pond) effects can account for immigrant parents’ higher educational expectations for their children compared with nonimmigrant parents. We address this question by applying a m…
Achievement or Social Background? The Impact of Tracking on the Composition of Schools in an International Comparison
This study explores the implications of early between-school tracking within educational systems – a practice that involves sorting students into different educational pathways based on their achievement levels. We examine two potential effects of this process: (i) the promotion of homogeneous learning environments through tracking, and (ii) the potential for tracking to exacerbate social segregation among schools. To scrutinize these effects, we…
Does between-school tracking increase school segregation among migrant students? A difference-in-differences and multiverse analysis of international large-scale assessment data
This study examines the role of educational tracking in shaping school segregation among first and second-generation migrants, a pressing issue for societal integration. Drawing on the pooled data from international student assessments (PISA, PIRLS, & TIMSS) from 1995 to 2019, we examine a total of 75 countries and assess the extent to which early tracking exacerbates segregation compared to more integrated school systems. Our analysis, based on …
Tracking and social inequalities in school belonging - A difference-in-differences approach
Drawing on ten studies from PIRLS, PISA and TIMSS, we study social inequalities in school belonging in the context of early tracking. We investigate whether a) there are social inequalities in school belonging b) early tracking has an effect on levels of school belonging c) tracking exacerbates social inequalities with respect to school belonging. We constructed a large database which covers a wide range of countries and representative student po…
The nexus between attitudes towards migration and the Covid-19 pandemic
The COVID-19 pandemic has a profound impact on the everyday lives of people around the world. This includes economic issues, social isolation and anxieties directly related to the coronavirus. Some of these phenomena relate to social disintegration, which in turn has been linked to negative outgroup sentiments. However, the tenuous connection between pandemic developments and international migration processes calls into question whether a link be…
Explaining immigrants' social distance towards natives
Economic conditions and perceptions of immigrants as an economic threat in Europe
This article addresses the extent to which economic downturns influence the perception of immigrants as an economic threat and through which channels this occurs. Our primary objective is an investigation of the specific mechanisms that connect economic conditions to the perception of immigrants as a threat. We therefore also contribute to theoretical discussions based on group threat and realistic group conflict theory by exposing the dominant s…
