Quantitative analysis explores factors influencing participation in anti-immigrant violence, suggesting mobilization of perceptions.

This study aims to analyze the factors influencing participation in anti-immigrant violence in South Africa.
Utilized data from three rounds (2015-2017) of the South African Social Attitudes Survey (N=9,292).
Employed a multivariate (multinomial) regression approach to identify factors related to participation in violence.
A majority of respondents did not participate in violence, but many were open to future involvement.
Perceived threat was identified as a robust predictor of potential participation in violence.
