广泛的研究调查了移民如何塑造当地人的反移民情绪。然而，有几个领域需要进一步审查。本文探讨了移民过程如何影响反移民情绪在一个新的移民目的地国家-日本-绘制纵向数据来研究这些过程随着时间的推移，明确测试的机制，感知的威胁和群体间的接触假设，以支持这种关系。通过这种分析，本文的目的是：研究如何概括的移民份额/移民态度的理论框架是非西方社会，完善我们的理解的机制，这种关系的基础，更有力地测试其因果关系的假设。为了实现这些目标，该研究利用了两组具有全国代表性的日本数据，旨在产生互补的见解，包括：四波纵向面板数据（2008-2014年）和一个独特的横截面数据集，其中包含感知威胁和接触的措施。通过运用多层次和固定效应的面板数据方法，研究结果表明，随着都道府县和市町村的移民增加，居民对移民的厌恶程度也在增加（虽然在市町村层面存在非线性的证据，但在高移民比例的环境中，情绪再次得到改善）。这种总体关系似乎主要是由两个相互竞争的进程驱动的。在高移民份额的环境中，感知的威胁更高，增加了反移民情绪。然而，与此同时，群体间的接触也在这些环境中增加，减少了反移民情绪。因此，尽管总体上存在负面关系（主要是由感知到的威胁驱动），但随着移民的增加，接触的增加会产生抵消性的积极影响。总之，这项研究表明，在西方背景下发展起来的态度改变理论与较高的移民，也出现了新的目的地，非西方社会显着。
Extensive research investigates how immigration shapes natives’ anti-immigrant sentiment. However, several areas require further scrutiny. This paper explores how processes of immigration affect anti-immigrant sentiment in a new immigration destination country—Japan—drawing on longitudinal data to examine these processes over time and explicitly testing the mechanisms of perceived threat and intergroup contact posited to underpin this relationship. Through this analysis, the paper aims to: examine how generalizable the immigrant share/immigration attitudes theoretical framework is to non-Western societies; refine our understanding of the mechanisms underpinning this relationship; and more robustly test its causal assumptions. To pursue these aims, the study draws on two sets of nationally representative Japanese data, designed to generate complementary insights, including: four waves of longitudinal panel data (2008–2014) and a unique cross-sectional dataset containing measures of perceived threat and contact. Applying multilevel and fixed-effects panel data approaches, the findings demonstrate that as immigration increases in Japanese prefectures and municipalities, residents become increasingly averse toward immigration (although there is some evidence of non-linearity at the municipality level, with sentiment improving again in high immigrant share environments). This overall relationship appears largely driven by two competing processes. In higher immigrant share environments, perceived threat is higher, increasing anti-immigrant sentiment. However, concurrently, intergroup contact also increases in these environments, reducing anti-immigrant sentiment. Therefore, despite the overall negative relationship (driven primarily by perceived threat), rising contact exerts a countervailing positive effect as immigration increases. Taken together, this research demonstrates that theories of attitudinal-change with higher immigration, developed within Western-contexts, also appear salient for newer destination, non-Western societies.
