EAGER Exploratory Experiments in Mutual Accommodation

西欧各国在最根本的意义上已经成为多元文化的国家，包容了多种文化。 但如何前进还远未明朗。 法国式的普遍主义并不成功。 英国和荷兰采取的做法也没有。 如果互相迁就是可取的，那么如何才能做到呢？ 这项研究的目的是确定条件下，一个国家的多数将愿意包括穆斯林移民作为正式成员，在他们的新社会的条件下接受的多数和少数人口。 这将通过在荷兰和丹麦进行一系列实验来实现。这项研究的结果可供地球仪的政策制定者使用，他们正在处理日益增长的少数群体人口问题。 研究这一专题的通常方式是使用有限的人种学研究或使用全国调查来衡量态度。 虽然民族志研究允许人们检查因果因素，但它们局限于可以检查的场景。 国家调查可以揭示对群体的态度，但很难通过标准调查问题了解可能采取的行动。 在这项研究中，主要研究者将对两项全国范围的调查进行一系列调查实验。 调查实验将允许在比通常的人种学方法大得多的人口中梳理出因果关系。 此外，还可以审查双方可以接受的通融水平。

Every country in Western Europe has become multicultural in the most fundamental sense of the containing multiple cultures. But is far from obvious how to go forward. Universalism in the French style has not been successful. Neither has the approach taken by Great Britain or the Netherlands. If mutual accommodation is desirable, how can it take place. This purpose of this study is identify terms under which a national majority will willingly include Muslim immigrants as full members in their new societies on terms acceptable to both the majority and the minority populations. This will be done by conducting a series of experiments in the Netherlands and Denmark. The results of this study could be of use to policy-makers across the globe who are dealing with growing minority populations.Mutual accommodation is a topic that has just begun to be examined by social scientists. The usual manner of studying this topic is to either use limited ethnographic studies or to use national surveys to measure attitudes. While the ethnographic studies allow one to examine causal factors, they are limited in the scenarios that can be examined. The national surveys can uncover attittudes towards groups, but it is difficult through standard survey questions to get at what actions are possible. In this study the principal investigator will be using a series of survey experiments on two surveys that will be national in scope. The survey experiments will allow the teasing out of causation in a much larger population than usual ethnographic methods. In addition, it will allow the examination of what levels of accommodation are acceptable to both sets of parties.
