摘要

This article examines whether Austrians hold different attitudes towards Ukrainian refugees compared to Arab/Afghan refugees and explores key mechanisms driving these attitudinal differences. Using data from the third wave of the Austrian Values in Crisis Panel (N = 1357), the study confirms that Austrians exhibit more favorable views towards Ukrainian refugees. Negative attitudes towards Arab/Afghan refugees are associated with feelings of realistic threat (particularly crime), while both Arabs/Afghans and Ukrainians are associated with symbolic threat. Basic value orientations further impact attitudes towards refugees. Self-Transcendence values correlate with favorable attitudes towards refugees overall, Self-Enhancement values only correlate with more favorable attitudes towards Ukrainians. Conservation values indirectly impact attitudes towards Arab/Afghan refugees by intensifying the influence of perceived threat. These results suggest that differences in attitudes stem from concerns about realistic threats and the differing impact of value orientations.
