TL;DR: This paper reviewed the intersectional locus of public opinion scholarship and immigration studies that make use of data from multinational survey projects and emphasized current cross-national research seeking to understand the causes, manifestations, and implications of attitudes toward immigrants and immigration in economically advanced countries of the world.

TL;DR: The results show that there are important regional differences in the mean levels and effects exerted by the civic and ethnic national feelings at both points in time, which point to the limited relevance of the conceptual demarcation between the Western-civic and Eastern-ethnic types.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigate whether respondents who interact with African and Latin American immigrants express lowered exclusionism compared to those who do not, and find that close contact with migrants becomes a weaker predictor of reduced foreigner exclusionism.

TL;DR: The authors examined the relationship between public views about immigrants' impact on crime and measures of criminal behavior in 21 countries of Europe using data from the 2002/3 module of the European Social Survey project and found that perceptions about immigrants impact are unaffected by personal experience with crime and by contextual measures such as the homicide rate, prison population rate, and ratio of foreign inmate to non-European foreign population.

TL;DR: For example, this article found that people who have been crime victims during the previous year are significantly more likely to express lower levels of SWD but that PFD is not sensitive to crime victimization, net of several individual and country-level control variables.
