Overview

Multilevel survey analysis reveals that host-society prejudice drives harassment worries among immigrants, highlighting the impact of macrolevel attitudes on interethnic relations.

Key Points

Assess the macrolevel societal determinants that drive immigrants' longitudinal worries about becoming targets of ethnic harassment.
Analyzed repeated cross-sectional survey data collected across a 19-year period (1986–2004) in Germany.
Examined immigrants of Greek, Italian, Spanish, Turkish, and ex-Yugoslavian origin linked to macrolevel contextual indicators.
Employed multilevel regression modeling to assess individual-level and contextual drivers, controlling for media attention.
German citizens' anti-immigrant prejudice was identified as the primary macrolevel driver of longitudinal differences in immigrants' harassment-related worries.
The positive association between prejudice levels and harassment concerns remained robust net of rival factors, including media attention fluctuations.
Prejudice-driven harassment concerns were consistent across all immigrant origin groups evaluated.
