From “Different” to “Similar”

Abstract: Assimilation is theorized as a multi-stage process where the structural mobility of immigrants and their descendants ultimately leads to established and immigrant-origin populations developing a subjective sense of social similarity with one another, an outcome I term symbolic belonging. Yet existing work offers little systematic evidence as to whether and how immigrants’ gains—in terms of language ability, socioeconomic status, neighborhood integration, or intermarriage—cause changes in the perceptions of the… Show more

“…Social desirability was a concern in this study because Americans tend to endorse egalitarianism related to gender, work, and family, irrespective of their actual behaviors, which tend to be more gendered than attitudinal survey data would suggest (Gerson, 2010;Kornrich & Eger, 2014;Miller & Carlson, 2016;Sayer, 2010). Past research shows that having respondents choose between competing profiles helps limit this source of bias because it forces respondents to weigh competing options in their responses (Quillian, 2006;Schachter, 2016).…”

However, because even native-born Latinos are often assumed to be immigrants (Schachter 2016) College activities, scholarships, and extra skills. All students were peer mentors and had a fictitious named college scholarship.…”

“…We used a vignette experiment survey to measure migrants' perceptions of refugees (Müller et al, 2014;Schachter, 2016). A vignette is a short and carefully constructed description of a person representing a systematic combination of characteristics (Atzmüller and Steiner, 2010;Steiner et al, 2016).…”

“…This method of analysis is particularly useful in researching sensitive issues and implicit preferences (Aguinis and Bradley, 2014). In the context of attitudinal research in the field of immigration and ethnicity, though, CA is new, and it should not be confused with survey experiments with conjoint design using vignette pairs or vignette sets (Hainmueller et al, 2015;Schachter, 2016). As our central research question is about the respondents' preference (we ask whom they are more willing to accept as their neighbour, friend, or inhabitant of the same country, respectively), CA was our preferred analytical strategy.…”
