对移民的反偏见准则是否在全世界共享？虽然以前的研究发现，对移民的偏见被认为是社会不可取的，这些研究完全是在西方社会进行的，我们对这些社会以外的移民反偏见规范的认识知之甚少。我们使用的情况下，日本，人们倾向于认为，社会是种族同质的，期望这种context-specific概念减轻了反偏见规范的意识。我们进行了两个列表实验，使用在线调查和比较的答案列表实验和直接问题的态度对移民，以揭示日本公民的看法规范。结果表明，日本公民在直接提问时比在列表实验中更倾向于表现出消极态度，表明对移民的偏见是一种规范性的表达，而不是压制。这些结果表明，对移民的反偏见规范是依赖于语境的，并非普遍共享。
Are anti-prejudice norms against immigrants shared worldwide? Although previous studies found that prejudice against immigrants is considered socially undesirable, these studies were conducted exclusively in Western societies and we have little knowledge of the awareness of antiprejudice norms against immigrants outside of these societies. We use the case of Japan, where people tend to believe that the society is ethnically homogeneous, expecting that this contextspecific notion mitigates the awareness of anti-prejudice norms. We conducted two list experiments using online surveys and compared the answers to those of list experiments and direct questions about attitudes towards immigrants to reveal Japanese citizens' perceptions of norms. The results show that Japanese citizens attempt to show more negative attitudes upon direct questions than in list experiments, indicating that it is normative to express prejudice against immigrants rather than suppressing it. These results suggest anti-prejudice norms against immigrants are context-dependent and not universally shared.
