Cultural solidarity, economic threat
Studies on the attitudes of minorities toward immigrants have produced mixed results, as while some suggest that minorities are more tolerant of immigrants, others find minorities resemble majority groups in their attitudes. We argue these inconsistencies stem from differences in how people evaluate immigrants’ cultural and economic impacts. Using data from the International Social Survey Programme linked with group-level measures of political, e…
What Would Jesus Fund? Christian Nationalism and Americans’ Views on Government Spending
Research on government spending focuses primarily on the roles of partisanship, ideology, and in-group self-interest. Beyond these, the authors propose that religiopolitical schemas have an independent (though interrelated) role in shaping Americans’ conceptions of government’s purpose, beneficiaries, and resource allocation. Conceiving of “Christian nationalism” as a religiopolitical schema rooted in “us versus them” hierarchical conceptions of …
Moral Intuitions and Support for Immigration
Introduction Attitudes toward immigration are often shaped by whether immigrants are perceived as a threat to one's racial, ethnic, or nativity group status. Yet recent research shows that such perceptions vary not only between different groups but also within them. Drawing on Moral Foundations Theory, our study investigates the moral intuitions that lead some individuals to view immigrants as threats and others to see them as deserving of care a…
The wages of ethnic power
Group threat theories explain anti-immigrant attitudes as emerging from threats to the perceived or actual power of one’s ethnic group. Studies also show that individual-level socioeconomic status (SES) is negatively correlated with attitudes toward immigrants, where SES is often conceptualized as an individual-level variable which relates to an individual’s experience of economic competition or general political orientation. Here we argue that t…
Religious rebound, political backlash, and the youngest cohort
We distinguish two streams of theory that dominate explanations of religious change: cohort-based cumulative decline theory, which emphasizes small and ongoing declines in individual religiosity accruing across generations; and political backlash theory, which emphasizes period- and identity-based changes due to the politicized meaning of religion. Notably, Muslim countries have largely been excluded from a recent wave of quantitative research on…
