To examine how racial and gender stereotypes shape public attitudes toward immigrants and immigration policy within a developing country transitioning into an immigration destination.
Conducted two waves of survey experiments with over 4,000 respondents in China.
Manipulated immigrant profiles using experimental cues for gender (female) and race (Black) to evaluate immigration approval and policy preferences.
Examined underlying sociopsychological mechanisms focusing on perceived cultural threats and public safety concerns.
Female immigrant cues increased public approval of immigration and support for liberal immigration policies, an effect mediated by sociopsychological concerns over cultural threats.
Black immigrant cues discouraged overall immigration approval and support for liberal policies, driven primarily by public concerns regarding safety.
