“…Therefore, it is possible that the similarity in mental health scores reflects the biased nature of our sample, i.e., higher SES and educational attainment, which might offer greater protection against stressors. Finally, we found no group differences in ethnic discrimination scores between first-and second-generation migrants, contrary to our predictions and several previous reports suggesting that second-generation migrants perceive more ethnic discrimination and are more psychologically affected by it (Giuliani et al, 2018;Yazdiha, 2019). General scores obtained on the PEDQ were lower than other previously reported community samples, e.g., Brondolo et al (2008), and although the measure included a wide variety of probable discrimination settings, certain questions might have been less relevant for student populations, such as those related to workplaces or owned property.…”

“…We selected several UK-based migrant groups in line with previous reports of differences in the effects of ethnic discrimination on mental health that are dependent on generational status. For example, second-generation migrants, defined as people who were born and reside in a country that at least one of their parents previously entered as a migrant, appear to be affected more by ethnic discrimination than first-generation migrants who were born outside the country ( Giuliani et al, 2018 ; Yazdiha, 2019 ). At the same time, much of this research has confounded ethnicity and migration ( A. Lindert, Korzilius, et al, 2008 ).…”

Previous research has found associations between mental health difficulties and interpretation biases, including heightened interpretation of threat from neutral or ambiguous stimuli. Building on this research, we explored associations between interpretation biases (positive and negative) and three constructs that have been linked to migrant experience: mental health symptoms (GSI), post-migration living difficulties (PMLD) and perceived ethnic discrimination (PEDQ). Two hundred and thirty students who identified as first- (n = 94) or second-generation ethnic minority migrants (n = 68), and first-generation White migrants (n = 68) completed measures of GSI, PEDQ, and PMLD. They also performed an interpretation bias task using Point-Light Walkers (PLW), dynamic stimuli with reduced visual input that are easily perceived as humans performing an action. Five categories of PLW were used: four that clearly depicted human forms undertaking positive, neutral, negative, or ambiguous actions, and a fifth that involved scrambled animations with no clear action or form. Participants were asked to imagine their interaction with the stimuli and rate their friendliness (positive interpretation bias) and aggressiveness (interpretation bias for threat). We found that the three groups differed on PEDQ and PMLD, with no significant differences in GSI, and the three measured were positively correlated. Poorer mental health and increased PMLD were associated with a heightened interpretation for threat of scrambled animations only. These findings have implications for understanding of the role of threat biases in mental health and the migrant experience.

“…These counterintuitive findings are in line with recent literature suggesting that better integrated Muslims perceive more discrimination, whether due to higher expectations of equal treatment or due to a greater ability to detect discrimination (Lajevardi et al. 2020; Yazdiha 2019). Additionally, younger Muslims, and supporters of the Green party, perceive greater discrimination.…”

Discrimination, Inclusion, and Anti‐System Attitudes among Muslims in Germany

Muslims in Europe and North America face high rates of discrimination and hostility. Less clear are the consequences of this prejudice on Muslims’ political attitudes. Leveraging a survey of 1,330 Muslims in Germany, we show that Muslims who have personally experienced discrimination exhibit higher anti‐system tendencies: more supportive of violence, more supportive of Islamism, and less supportive of democracy and secularism. We also find that these patterns are concentrated among Muslims who believe they “suffer alone,” not believing other Muslims experience similar hostility. Finally, through a priming experiment, we find causal evidence that German Chancellor Angela Merkel's inclusive rhetoric and policies toward Muslims may help mitigate these dynamics, reducing perceptions of discrimination and in turn producing pro‐system sentiments.

“…Perceptions of discrimination among persons of immigrant origin tend to increase with their educational level (Silberman, Alba, and Fournier 2007;Sizemore and Milner 2004;ten Teije, Coenders, and Verkuyten 2013;de Vroome, Martinovic, and Verkuyten 2014; but see Tolsma, Lubbers, and Gijsberts 2012); Diehl and Liebau (2017) even present longitudinal evidence. They are on average higher among the domestically as compared to the foreign born (Jasinskaja-Lahti, Liebkind, and Perhoniemi 2006;Litchmore and Safdar 2015;Skrobanek 2009;Yazdiha 2018), and among the employed as compared to the unemployed (Alanya, Baysu, and Swyngedouw 2015;André and Dronkers 2017). As argue, increasing integration among persons of immigrant origin goes along with a growing awareness about their marginalized (especially racial ) status in society.…”

Social Mobility and Perceived Discrimination: Adding an Intergenerational Perspective

This article adds an intergenerational perspective to the study of perceived ethnic discrimination. It proposes the conjecture that perceived discrimination tends to increase with parental education, particularly among those children of immigrants who have attained only mediocre levels of education themselves. I discuss that this conjecture may be developed as an argument that comes in two versions: a narrow version about explicit downward (intergenerational) mobility and a wide version about unfulfilled mobility aspirations more generally. Analyses based on the six-country comparative EURISLAM survey support the argument: parental education positively predicts perceived discrimination in general, but among the less educated this relation is most pronounced whereas it is absent among those with tertiary education. A replication and falsification test based on the German IAB-SOEP Migration Sample reconfirms the main finding and provides further original pieces of evidence. The analyses suggest processes associated with unfulfilled mobility aspirations as the more plausible underlying reason.
