项目摘要

The planned project aims to foster a better understanding of a highly relevant social phenomenon: the devaluation of weak groups in society such as asylum-seeking or long-term unemployed persons. The proposal investigates the causes of Group-focused Enmity (GFE), i.e. prejudices against a range of social minorities, and its potential consequences by means of an approach based on Institutional Anomie Theory (IAT), a theory originally intended to explain crime rates on the macro level of society. The planned research project extends the joint work of the applicant with Prof. Messner and colleagues essentially on formulating and establishing a unique and novel explanatory approach for prejudices that emerge along with processes of marketization. Previous studies of the applicant´s research team have succeeded in three aspects: 1) translating IAT to the individual level of analysis, 2) expanding the scope of the theory to apply to a phenomenon other than crime - such as prejudice, and 3) applying IAT in multilevel frameworks, with "macro" encompassing both the societal and organizational level. The developed theoretical framework includes the institutional and the cultural component of societies and is based on the overarching analytical model, in which deficient individual integration in non-economic institutions such as the family, religion or politics and a shared marketized mentality (MM) - entailing a strong commitment to the principal values of the market economy - serve as important predictors of prejudice. The postulated marketization of various important societal institutions results in Anomie insofar as the cultural structure of society overemphasizes egoistic, success orientated goals and simultaneously devalues the legitimized means to succeed. This societal configuration fosters the adoption of evaluative criteria of out-groups that prioritize considerations of profitability, which is theorized to result in generalized devaluations of those groups - their members are perceived as useless or economically burdensome. The project consists of five empirical studies, which are aimed at publications in peer-reviewed journals. By means of secondary data analysis of accessible datasets and a newly gathered small-size sample, the project targets to enrich the current research agenda substantially in terms of the following important domains: sharpening the measures, clarifying the connections of the main concepts considering their effects on the societal and individual level, investigating their causal structure and analyzing their impact on related behavioral outcomes such as discrimination, violence or right-wing electoral intentions. The comprehensive and ambitious project is highly feasible given the applicant´s distinct expertise in this area, his advanced preparatory work, his outstanding data access options and the already existing research collaboration. The University at Albany constitutes an ideal research environment for this project.

计划中的项目旨在促进对一个高度相关的社会现象的更好理解：对社会弱势群体，如寻求庇护者或长期失业者的贬低。该提案调查了群体仇恨（GFE）的原因，即对一系列社会少数群体的偏见，以及它的潜在后果，通过一种基于制度失规范理论（IAT）的方法，该理论最初旨在解释宏观社会层面的犯罪率。计划中的研究项目扩展了申请人与Messner教授及其同事的共同工作，主要是制定和建立一种独特而新颖的解释方法，以解释随着市场化进程而出现的偏见。申请人研究团队之前的研究在三个方面取得了成功：1)将IAT转化为个人层面的分析，2)将理论的范围扩大到适用于犯罪以外的现象-例如偏见，以及3)将IAT应用于多层次框架，其中“宏观”包括社会和组织层面。已发展的理论框架包括社会的制度和文化组成部分，并以总体分析模型为基础，其中个人在非经济机构（如家庭、宗教或政治）中的整合不足，以及共同的市场化心态（MM）——需要对市场经济的主要价值观的强烈承诺——是偏见的重要预测因素。假定的各种重要社会制度的市场化导致了社会反常，因为社会的文化结构过分强调自私的、以成功为导向的目标，同时贬低了成功的合法手段。这种社会结构促使采用优先考虑盈利能力的外群体评估标准，这在理论上导致了这些群体的普遍贬值——他们的成员被认为是无用的或经济上的负担。该项目包括五项实证研究，目标是在同行评议的期刊上发表。通过对可访问的数据集和新收集的小样本进行二次数据分析，该项目旨在在以下重要领域实质性地丰富当前的研究议程：加强措施，澄清主要概念之间的联系，考虑它们对社会和个人层面的影响，调查它们的因果结构，并分析它们对相关行为结果（如歧视、暴力或右翼选举意图）的影响。考虑到申请人在该领域的独特专业知识，他的高级准备工作，他出色的数据访问选项以及已经存在的研究合作，这个全面而雄心勃勃的项目是非常可行的。奥尔巴尼大学为这个项目提供了一个理想的研究环境。
