“…Slovakia is a country that has significantly negative attitudes towards migrants (Bozogáňová, 2020). At the same time, the research showed that Slovaks consider education and job-seeking abilities to be the most important factors for integration of migrants (Bozogáňová & Pethö, 2020) which should result in acceptance and positive attitudes towards foreign students. The aim of the paper is to observe to what extent a sample of young people studying in Slovakia perceive that Slovaks see migrants as a threat.…”

The war conflict in Ukraine has brought about the migration of Ukrainians to other European countries. This also applies to Slovakia, as a neighbouring country of Ukraine. People come for work, but also for study. However, Slovak society is set negatively towards migrants. The aim of the paper is to observe to what extent a sample of young people studying in Slovakia perceive that Slovaks see migrants as a threat. At the same time, however, we investigated to what extent the given perception of Slovaks is associated with social and personality variables: bullshitting, life orientation, Big Five traits. The sample consisted of 136 foreign students from Ukraine studying in Slovakia (69% of women, Mage=18.91, SD=1.91). Data were collected in the second half of 2022 through the scale of prejudice among migrants, Bullshitting Frequency Scale, BFI-2 XS, Life orientation test, Scale of habitual subjective well-being. Biological sex and perceived socioeconomic status were observed as control variables. Results were processed in SPSS.20 using descriptive statistics and linear regression. According to the results, students from Ukraine perceive that Slovaks are most worried about threats to their physical health and safety related to migration. At the same time, the perceived negative attitudes of Ukrainians towards Slovaks were predicted by the bullshitting level (β=.326; S.E.=2.599; p<.05) openness to experience (β=-.260; S.E.=2.152; p<.05), as well as by their own socioeconomic status (β=-.275; S.E.=2.308; p<.025) The results indicate the importance of subjective embellishment of reality due to the need to show oneself in a better light when subjectively evaluating the attitudes of others. Coping with the migration crisis will also require diverse care in the development of social competence and critical thinking.
