EAGER Exploratory Experiments in Mutual Accommodation

西欧的每个国家在最基本的意义上都已成为多元文化，其中包含了多元文化。但如何前进远不是显而易见的。法国式的普遍主义并不成功。英国或荷兰的做法也不是这样。如果相互通融是可取的，它怎么可能发生。这项研究的目的是确定国家多数人愿意以多数人和少数人都能接受的条件将穆斯林移民纳入其新社会的正式成员的条件。这将通过在荷兰和丹麦进行一系列实验来实现。这项研究的结果可能会对全球各地的政策制定者有用，他们正在应对日益增长的少数族裔人口。相互适应是社会科学家刚刚开始研究的一个话题。研究这一主题的通常方式是使用有限的人种学研究或使用国家调查来衡量态度。虽然人种学研究允许人们检查因果因素，但它们仅限于可以检查的情景。国家调查可以揭示人们对群体的态度，但通过标准的调查问题很难得出哪些行动是可能的。在这项研究中，首席调查员将对两项全国性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群中梳理出因果关系。此外，它还将允许审查双方都可以接受的通融程度。

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.
