“…At the same time, the presence of migrants was directly attributed to the terrorist threat to the host societies [15]. Such a "categorical fetishism" has been argued to be a distinctive trait of the current European securitised immigration regime and discourse [16,17]. For instance, the research has found diverging attitudes of the Swedish population towards immigrants and refugees that rely on the ethnic origin, the economic situation in the home country and the home region as the main determinants of these attitudes [16].…”

For instance, the research has found diverging attitudes of the Swedish population towards immigrants and refugees that rely on the ethnic origin, the economic situation in the home country and the home region as the main determinants of these attitudes [16]. Moreover, the use of the two linguistic labels has been found to be temporal and dependent on the social and political climate in the host societies [12].…”

“…With this “tough approach on immigration” (Pancevski & Pop, 2018), EU politicians mimic political leaders elsewhere (e.g., the United States and Australia) and contribute to antipathy towards immigrants and refugees amongst their voters by framing the debate about refugee integration in ethno‐nationalist tones (Elgenius & Rydgren, 2019; Esses, Hamilton, & Gaucher, 2017; Porter & Russell, 2018). According to the UNHCR, refugees are “people who have fled war, violence, conflict or persecution and have crossed an international border to find safety in another country” (UNHCR, 2020), and earlier research has shown imperative differences in residents' legitimacy perceptions towards “refugees” versus “labor migrants” (De Coninck, 2020). In many EU member states, residents' attitudes towards refugee integration are associated with increased societal tensions (Stokes, Wike, & Poushter, 2016).…”

“…Finally, our study focuses on attitudes towards refugees and their integration. Building on previous research (e.g., De Coninck, 2020; De Coninck & Matthijs, 2020; von Hermanni & Neumann, 2019) that points to the differences in residents' perceptions towards different groups of migrants (e.g., labor migrants versus refugees) as well as towards subgroups of refugees (e.g., women versus men; Christians versus Muslims), researchers should consider these impactful nuances in their future studies.…”

“…Because a large share of the population has limited face-to-face contact with refugees, news media are the main sources through which the public receives information about them. News media representation of these groups is therefore vital, as previous literature indicates that media coverage is strongly related to attitudes toward minority groups (Bleich et al., 2015; De Coninck, 2019; Jacobs et al., 2016; Joyce and Harwood, 2014). Although portrayals of minorities are generally negative, with news media often linking them to criminal activities (Van Gorp, 2005), the type of news media consumed also plays a role.…”
