Abstract
The current research aims to theoretically contribute to explaining the attitude towards immigrants by looking into the mediating role of intergroup contact on the relationship between personal values and the attitude towards immigrants, and into the conditions amongst which quality of contact moderates the relationship between intergroup contact and the attitude towards immigrants. In order to analyze this, a secondary dataset from the European Social Survey is analyzed. Results of the moderated mediation and separate mediation analysis show that intergroup contact plays a minor but meaningful role as a mediator between personal values and the attitude towards immigrants, and contact quality does not influence the relationship between intergroup contact and the attitude towards immigrants in the conceptual model analyzed.
