“…De ahí la pregunta: ¿por qué no aumentó el sentimiento antinmigrante, propiamente dicho, pese a unas condiciones económicas nefastas? Este interrogante no se refiere al sentimiento hacia personas concretas (véase Iyengar et al, 2013), pero tampoco se trata Tabla 1.

“…The ensuing query concerns the reasons for anti-immigrant sentiment (strictly speaking) to remain subdued amidst calamitous economic context. This riddle is concerned with sentiment towards groups, rather than specific individuals (Iyengar et al, 2013). However, it is not an entirely abstract attitude either, as it refers to groups of persons.…”

“…Si estas fuesen equiparadas con enemistad, la sorprendente configuración de las actitudes que examinamos aquí no podría siquiera observarse. 3 Nótese, sin embargo, que estudios sobre «person-positivity-bias» distinguen entre actitudes a escala grupal e individual (Iyengar et al, 2013 La crisis acabó con una bonanza económi-ca en cuya cúspide el mercado laboral español incorporó anualmente a unos 500.000 trabajadores extranjeros (Aja et al, 2009). Andalucía atrajo a inmigrantes de África (sobre todo Marruecos), América Latina y Europa del Este (principalmente Rumanía), quienes se empleaban mayoritariamente en los sectores doméstico, hostelero, constructor y en la agricultura.…”

ResumenEste artículo proporciona tres razones conexas por las que percepciones de competencia grupal no deben confundirse con hostilidad hacia las personas de procedencia extranjera. Primero, se argumenta que concepciones expansivas del prejuicio acaban desdibujando el análisis de las actitudes en materia migratoria. Segundo, se observan trayectorias dispares de competencia grupal percibida, por un lado, y animosidad antinmigrante, por otro. Tercero, se identifican varios factores que disminuyen el sentimiento antinmigrante, pese a circunstancias económicas desalentadoras y al margen de competencia grupal percibida. El estudio demuestra que las actitudes hacia el colectivo inmigrante no dependen sin más de hechos e intereses económicos, sino de un complejo entramado de predisposiciones y percepciones. Key words AbstractThis paper provides three interrelated reasons not to confound perceptions of economic group-threat with hostility toward people of foreign origin. Firstly, I argue that expansive notions of prejudice impede analyzing attitudes toward immigration and immigrants with sufficient precision. Secondly, the recent evolution in the Southern Spanish region of Andalusia illustrates divergent trajectories: anti-immigrant sentiment remained subdued despite surging unemployment and perceived conflict-of-interest. Thirdly, various factors are found to contain antiimmigrant sentiment amidst inauspicious economic circumstances and regardless of perceived group-competition. The study shows that attitudes towards immigrants hinge on a complex array of predispositions and perceptions, rather than economic facts and interests per se. Rinken, Sebastian (2016). «Crisis económica y sentimiento antinmigrante: el caso de Andalucía». Sociológicas, Cómo citar Revista Española de Investigaciones 78Crisis económica y sentimiento antinmigrante: el caso de Andalucía IntroduccIón Durante los últimos veinte años, la periferia mediterránea de Europa ha atraído cuantiosos flujos de inmigración laboral; desde 2008 la región experimenta una severa crisis económica. Auge y declive del mercado laboral español simbolizan esta peliaguda secuencia; en áreas económicamente desfavorecidas, como Andalucía, la tasa de desempleo incluso llegó a superar el 35%. ¿Cómo reaccionaría la ciudadanía? Antecedentes empí-ricos y conceptuales sugieren un riesgo de hostilidades cuando las sociedades inmigratorias experimentan retrocesos económicos. Pero España y, específicamente, Andalucía han eludido tales predicciones: aunque las opiniones acerca de la inmigración laboral se enfriaron, la animosidad antinmigrante no aumentó.Analizaré esta llamativa configuración con objeto de refinar la conceptualización de las relaciones intergrupales en contextos adversos. Despuésde revisar la bibliografía y las trayectorias empíricas de distintas facetas actitudinales, examinaré nueve hipótesis explicativas mediante regresión logística, usando datos de 2013 (N=2.363), el sexto año de crisis. Distingo entre dos categorías de predictores: predisposiciones generales ...

“…Although an extensive amount of previous research has explored the role of economic and cultural threat perceptions in shaping anti-immigrant sentiments towards various immigrant groups, only a handful of studies examine the role of economic and cultural threats as cues for evaluating individual immigrants (Aalberg, Iyengar, & Messing, 2012;Harell, Soroka, Iyengar, & Valentino, 2012;Iyengar et al, 2013), and to our knowledge no previous research examined the impact of individual characteristics of immigrants on immigration-related attitudes in the Netherlands. Addressing this gap, the current study expands the scope of previous studies on attitudes towards individual immigrants to the previously unexplored Dutch case, and examines the role of economic and cultural characteristics of individual immigrants in shaping evaluations of individual immigrants in the Netherlands and in the USA.…”

“…Building on recent studies adopting a novel experimental design, the current study examines the impact of economic and cultural characteristics of potential immigrants on anti-immigrant sentiments in the USA and in the Netherlands. Although previous studies have well established how immigrant characteristics are affecting the level of support for immigrants in the USA and various Western democracies (Aalberg, Iyengar, & Messing, 2012;Harell, Soroka, Iyengar, & Valentino, 2012;Iyengar et al, 2013), to the best of our knowledge, no previous research has explored the role of individuating cues in the Netherlands. In the current study, we investigate the extent to which individuating cues affect public support for immigrants in the USA and the Netherlands from a comparative perspective.…”
