“…This line of theory and research suggests that intergroup anxiety toward a specific out-group (a) predicts prejudice toward this out-group (e.g., Stephan et al, 1998Stephan et al, , 2000Stephan et al, , 2002 and (b) is predicted by a lack of knowledge about the out-group and by past negative contact with this out-group (e.g., Stephan et al, 2002;Stephan & Stephan, 1989). Thus, intergroup anxiety typically has a negative impact on intergroup relations by stimulating negative attitudes toward an out-group (i.e., prejudice) and avoidance of the initiation of intergroup contact.…”

Three studies examine the amplifying effects of intergroup anxiety on individuals' negative and offensive responses to out-group-initiated contact. Because intergroup anxiety typically results in avoidance of the initiation of intergroup contact, these studies explored how intergroup anxiety affected individuals' interpretation of and responses to out-group-initiated contact. The authors hypothesized that intergroup anxiety amplifies individuals' threat appraisal of out-group-initiated contact as well as their feelings of anger and offensive action tendencies toward the out-group. Results showed consistent support for these hypotheses by demonstrating that intergroup anxiety amplified individuals' threat appraisal (Studies 2 and 3), anger (Studies 1-3), and offensive action tendencies toward the out-group (Study 2). Anger consistently predicted offensive action tendencies (Studies 2-3). Thus, intergroup anxiety decreased individuals' limits of tolerance by increasing their threat appraisal of out-group-initiated contact. The results are discussed in relation to theories of threat, emotion, and tolerance.

“…This trend of immigration has also started spreading across Europe (Kloek et al 2013) and in several Asian countries and regions (Chan 2012), due to the fast-growing international collaboration and communication. For international migrant workers to fully integrate into, and lead a quality life in, the host country, they have to overcome substantial challenges such as potential prejudice (Stephan et al 1999) and cultural and language differences (Chauhdry 2016). This assertion should be prevalent in various immigrant countries, particularly in Western developed countries.…”

Quality of life is a complicated concept that has attracted broad attention from multiple disciplines. This article introduces a set of studies that employ diverse approaches to explore how work, vocational, and career experiences shape quality of life among migrants, and proposes a future agenda to extend this stream of research. Specifically, operationalizing quality of life in different ways, research showcased in this special issue has demonstrated how international and intranational migrants achieve, maintain, and enhance their wellbeing in different life domains. Reflecting on the literature and the showcased studies, this article proposes that future research should advance the current inquiry by better categorizing vocational experiences, uniquely operationalizing of quality of life in migration contexts, taking a more culturally sensitive perspective, and broadening methodological approaches.
