| dc.description.abstract | The differences in attitudes towards Ukrainian and other refugees are striking. Therefore, this research focused on these differences in attitudes, along with the possible underlying mechanisms that explain the differences. Based on literature research, framing analyses and a survey analysis, a total of six sub questions were tested. The results of the survey first of all showed that there are differences in attitudes: people view the reception of Ukrainian refugees more positive than the reception of other refugees. European Union policies, based on literature study, seem to influence the differences in attitudes. Moreover, politicians frame other refugees in a more negative way than they do Ukrainian refugees, which shares similarities with beliefs in society that were tested in the survey. From the individual/societal mechanisms, only the stronger identification with a Dutch identity holds a relationship with the differences in attitudes. The following possible mechanisms did not: perceived differences in culture, perceived differences in religion, and fear of the aggressor. To conclude, this research gained some insights into the underlying mechanisms for the differences in attitudes, and therefore it has added onto the scientifical debate on this relatively new topic. | |
