“…An alternative to this theory is contact theory which states that contact with a minority group should bring about greater interracial affability (Allport 1954; Ellison and Powers 1994; Meer and Freedman 1966; Tsukashima and Montero 1976). Allport (1954) formulated that contact will reduce prejudice under a set of optimal conditions: there is equal status between the groups in question; common goals; intergroup cooperation; and support from authorities, law, or custom.…”

This article advances the argument that the effects of demographic change on individual-level immigration policy preferences is dependent on the level of segregation in the individuals’ local context. Increases in the immigrant population in highly segregated counties should increase opposition to immigration because opportunities for contact and exposure are missing and group differences are emphasized. Meanwhile, population increases in more integrated counties should lead to an alleviation of interethnic tensions due to more frequent opportunities for contact. Furthermore, whites may react differently to changes in racial/ethnic composition of a local context depending on the particular group moving into the area because some groups are closer to fulfilling Allport’s equal status contact condition than others. The empirical analysis finds strong support for the first assertion that population growth of Latina/os and Asian Americans in highly segregated areas results in support for restrictive immigration policy, while population growth in more integrated areas results in support for permissive immigration policy. The results are inconclusive for the second assertion as the effects of Asian American and Latina/o population growth are so highly dependent on segregation levels.

“…c. Indien we de operationalisering van een leerlingengroep goed definiëren, kunnen we er vanuit gaan dat het steeds om een betekenisvolle interactie gaat tussen autochtone en allochtone leerlingen en dat leerlingen die naar dezelfde school gaan ook daadwerkelijk veelvuldig contact met elkaar hebben. d. Het mechanisme van zelfselectie waarbij tolerante mensen meer contact hebben (Tsukashima & Montero 1976) wordt enigszins buitenspel gezet aangezien we werken met scholen, waardoor leerlingen niet echt de keuze hebben of ze al dan niet veel met allochtone leerlingen in contact komen.…”

Ongelijkheid en segregatie in het onderwijslandschap: effecten op etnocentrisme

This article investigates differences in the composition of Flemish pupil groups with regards to ‘risk characteristics’ that promote ethnocentric attitudes. Pupil groups are compared on a broad range of social, economic and cultural characteristics and these aggregated group characteristics are transformed into one measure which reflects the presence of pupils that share risk characteristics promoting ethnocentrism. Differences between the groups are considerable, especially those between the educational tracks. A strong presence of pupils sharing ethnocentric risk characteristics has an independent effect on pupils’ attitudes towards immigrants. Within groups with a high degree of ethnocentric risk characteristics, pupils report more negative attitudes towards immigrants than within groups with fewer of those characteristics, and this regardless of their own individual characteristics. Autochthonous students from ethnically-mixed pupil groups also report less negative attitudes towards immigrants than autochthonous pupils from groups with a high degree of ethnic homogeneity.
