“…Migrants are a disadvantaged minority that is treated as such. In the Netherlands, there are many negative prejudices against Moroccan and Turkish migrants (Coenders et al 2015;Pettigrew et al 1997). In addition to the factors investigated that provide important explanations for the differences in loneliness between migrants and older Dutch adults, personal migration history and experiences of deprivation and ethnic discrimination could also plausibly contribute to their loneliness.…”

Stronger feelings of loneliness among Moroccan and Turkish older adults in the Netherlands: in search for an explanation

The prevalence of loneliness among Turkish-Dutch and Moroccan-Dutch older adults is higher than among Dutch older adults of non-migrant origin. Three explanations may account for this difference: (1) differential item functioning might result in scores that vary in intensity and in meaning across categories; (2) the position of migrants is much more vulnerable than that of non-migrants; (3) the lack of protective factors has more severe consequences for older migrants. The Longitudinal Aging Study Amsterdam interviewed 176 persons born in Morocco and 235 born in Turkey, aged 55-66 and living in urban areas. They are compared with a matched sample of 292 Dutch persons. The psychometric properties of the loneliness scale are satisfying, although there is some differential item functioning. Older migrants have more frequent social contacts but are at a disadvantage in other domains. Taking into account differences in social participation, satisfaction with income, mastery and depressive symptoms, the difference between older migrants' and non-migrants' loneliness is reduced by more than half. Protective factors are equally important for older migrants and non-migrants. Exceptions are marriage (less protective for Moroccans), frequent contact with children/children-in-law (mostly for Turks), a higher educational level (protects Moroccans and Turks) and better physical functioning (less for Turks). Being an older migrant and belonging to a minority might further contribute to feelings of loneliness. Interventions can be directed at stimulating social contact, but also at aspects like enhancing the appreciation of their social status and avoiding negative interpretations of a situation.

“…Bestaand onderzoek focust echter vooral op de negatieve gevolgen van etnische vooroordelen voor het welbevinden en zelfvertrouwen van minderheden (Sierens et al, 2006;Timmerman, Hermans & Hoornaert, 2002;Wong, Eccles & Sameroff, 2003). Het weinige onderzoek dat de determinanten van etnische vooroordelen onderzoekt, beperkt zich vaak tot individuele, sociodemografische kenmerken (Coenders, Lubbers & Scheepers, 2004;Vervoort, Scholte & Scheepers, 2008). Er wordt zelden gekeken naar de invloed van de kwaliteit van de relatie met ouders, leerkrachten en scholen.…”

“…We controleerden voor etnische schoolcompositie, aangezien onderzoek aantoont dat louter de aanwezigheid (Zajonc, 1968;Zebrowitz, White & Wieneke, 2008) of een hogere concentratie (Kalin, 1996) van etnische minderheden gepaard gaat met minder etnische vooroordelen. Verder werden geslacht, SES, het hebben van allochtone vrienden en de onderwijsvorm mee opgenomen als controlevariabelen, aangezien onderzoek aantoont dat mannen, mensen met een lagere SES, mensen met weinig of geen allochtone vrienden en leerlingen in het BSO en TSO meer etnisch bevooroordeeld zijn dan vrouwen, mensen met een hogere SES, mensen met meer allochtone vrienden en leerlingen in het ASO (Coenders, Lubbers & Scheepers, 2004;Pettigrew, 1998;Thijs & Verkuyten, 2014;Vervoort, Scholte & Scheepers, 2008;Witte, 1999). In het derde model (Tabel 3, Model 2) werd sociale cohesie toegevoegd om de tweede hoofdhypothese te testen die stelt dat meer sociale cohesie binnen een school gepaard gaat met minder etnische vooroordelen bij Vlaamse jongeren (H2).…”

“…Desondanks bestaat er weinig onderzoek naar de determinanten van etnische vooroordelen. De weinige studies die dit doen, kijken bijna uitsluitend naar determinanten op (Coenders, Lubbers & Scheepers, 2004;Vervoort, Scholte & Scheepers, 2008). Dit onderzoek bouwt hierop voort door te kijken naar de relatie tussen veilige hechting met de ouders, leerkrachten en school op individueel niveau en etnische vooroordelen bij Vlaamse jongeren.…”

As a result of global migration processes, schools in Flanders are now notably ethnically diverse. Taking into consideration the lack of research on determinants of Flemish students’ ethnic prejudice and Bowlby’s attachment theory, we want to examine the role of the individual feeling of attachment and the social cohesion in schools for Flemish students’ degree of ethnic prejudice in secondary education. Moreover, we control for ethnic school composition and pupil characteristics that have been shown to be related to ethnic prejudice. The data used are taken from the Racism and Discrimination in Secondary Schools Research (RaDiSS 2), collected by means of a written questionnaire by 2.058 students and 669 teachers in 40 Flemish secondary schools. The main finding of this study is that the individual feeling of being securely attached is associated with lower levels of ethnic prejudice: Flemish pupils who feel supported by their parents, teachers and school are less ethnic prejudiced. Moreover, social cohesion in a school is related with lower degrees of ethnic prejudice among Flemish students.

“…In contrast, levels of ethnic prejudice seem to have risen in the Netherlands. Several scholars found more widespread support for ethnic discrimination in the housing and labor markets since the late 1980s (Coenders et al 2008 ; Coenders and Scheepers 1998 ; Huijnk and Dagevos 2012 ), and stronger support for ethnic prejudice since the 1990s (Coenders et al 2015 ). Similar changes have been found in other European countries (see Ceobanu and Escandell ( 2010 ) for an overview).…”

The Paradox of Rising Ethnic Prejudice in Times of Educational Expansion and Secularization in the Netherlands, 1985–2011

We aim to clarify a puzzling paradox: while shares of highly educated and non-religious individuals—who generally hold less prejudice—have increased in the Netherlands, levels of prejudice against ethnic minorities have yet risen over time. To solve the paradox, we use cross-sectional data from 1985 to 2011 in counterfactual analyses. In these analyses we simulate that levels of ethnic prejudice within categories of education, church membership, and church attendance are kept constant at the 1985 level and a new simulated trend in prejudice is estimated for the 1985–2011 period. Our findings show that changing levels of prejudice within categories of education are partly responsible for the trend. We conclude that the increasing share of highly educated individuals has not resulted in a decline of prejudice in the Netherlands over time, because all Dutch have become more prejudiced over the years and in particular the higher educated.
