Resumo: | Immigration and climate change are the cause of heated debates among the German public. From a socio psychological perspective, it is crucial to understand which factors shape and influence opinions and attitudes towards these topics. We proposed the human values as developed by Schwartz (1992) as good determinants of attitudes towards immigration and climate change. The present study also examined how challenge and threat perceptions of either immigration or climate change influenced the relationship between human values, namely conservation and self-transcendence, and attitudes towards immigration, or climate change respectively, as well as attitudes towards institutional and social trust. We assumed that challenge and threat perceptions would moderate the tested relationships. Furthermore, we assumed that left- and right-wing ideologies would moderate the relationships in a similar way as challenge and threat perceptions would. We used data from the European Social Survey (ESS), round 7 and 8, from 2014 (N=3045) and from 2016 (N=2852) and conducted several moderation analyses. Our findings did not give substantial support to our assumptions as most of the moderation effects were either non-significant or very weak. |

De uma perspectiva sócio-psicológica, é crucial entender quais os fatores que moldam e influenciam as opiniões e atitudes em relação a estes assuntos. Propomos os valores humanos desenvolvidos por Schwartz (1992) como bons determinantes de atitudes em relação à imigração e às mudanças climáticas. O presente estudo, assim como as percepções de desafio e ameaça da imigração ou das mudanças climáticas, influenciaram a relação entre os valores humanos, ou seja, conservação e autotranscendência e atitudes em relação à imigração ou mudanças climáticas, bem como as atitudes em relação à confiança institucional e social. Presumimos que as percepções de desafio e ameaça moderariam os relacionamentos testados. Além disso, presume-se que as ideologias de esquerda e de direita moderariam os relacionamentos de maneira semelhante às percepções de desafio e ameaça. Utilizando dados do European Social Survey (ESS), rounds 7 e 8, de 2014 (N = 3045) e de 2016 (N = 2852) e conduzimos várias análises de moderação. As descobertas não deram suporte substancial às suposições, já que a maioria dos efeitos de moderação não foram significativos ou foram muito fracos.2021-12-13T00:00:00Z2020-12-13T00:00:00Z2020-12-132020-11info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/masterThesisapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10071/21718TID:202579670engZitzewitz, Julius Voninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAP2023-11-09T17:55:51Zoai:repositorio.iscte-iul.pt:10071/21718Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T22:28:33.309963Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse |
