Overview

Survey experiments reveal public attitudes towards asylum seekers, highlighting how symbolic boundaries impact inclusion and moral calculus.

Key Points

  • Perspective-taking boosts support for asylum seekers' rights, demonstrating the power of empathy in shaping inclusion.
  • Survey data indicates that willingness to welcome refugees decreases with higher residential segregation levels.
  • Perceived legality of asylum seekers is influenced by identity documents and social connections, creating layers of exclusion.
  • Symbolic boundaries significantly shape public preferences and attitudes towards different refugee groups based on origin and background.
