This study explores how researchers’ analytical choices affect the reliability of scientific findings. Most discussions problems in science focus on systematic biases. We broaden lens to emphasize idiosyncrasy conscious and unconscious decisions that researchers make during data analysis. coordinated 161 73 research teams observed their as they used same independently test prominent social hypothesis: greater immigration reduces support for policies among public.

Abstract Previous empirical research on tolerance suffers from a number of shortcomings, the most serious being conceptual and operational conflation (in)tolerance prejudice. We design to remedy this. First, we contribute literature by advancing that distinguishes analytically between two phenomena. conceptualize as value orientation towards difference. This definition—which is abstract does not capture attitudes specific out-groups, ideas, or behaviors—allows for analysis within societies....
This paper tests the theoretically assumed relationship between parliamentary presence of radical right parties (RRPs) and anti-immigration attitudes over time. Data come from six rounds European Social Survey 2002 2012. Using multi-level models with applications for repeated cross-sectional data, study examines implications changes tied to political advancements a focus on three possible scenarios: people's about immigration have generally become more negative, opposition towards has...
This study investigates researcher variability in computational reproduction, an activity for which it is least expected. Eighty-five independent teams attempted numerical replication of results from original policy preferences and immigration. Reproduction were randomly grouped into a ‘transparent group’ receiving code or ‘opaque only method description no code. The transparent group mostly verified (95.7% same sign p -value cutoff), while the opaque had less success (89.3%). Second-decimal...
This article examines how political factors influence anti-immigrant attitudes by focusing on articulation performed parties active at the national level in 26 European countries. Multi-level analysis reveals a significant positive association between general party and attitudes. In particular, it seems to be when traditional right- or left-wing articulate that towards immigrants turn increasingly negative. Left-leaning individuals are particularly influenced belonging left raise these...
AbstractThis article approaches two shortcomings in previous research on religiosity and prejudice: (1) the lack of cross-country comparative studies; (2) a failure to consider any moderating effects religious contexts. We examine whether relationship between anti-immigration attitudes varies depending contexts Europe, we find things. First, strongly people are average less likely oppose immigration than non-religious people. Second, different moderate religiosity–attitude that Protestant...
Prejudice is one of the major threats to cohesion multicultural societies and adolescent years play a key role in its development. How social contexts contribute prejudice is, however, not yet well-known. This 3-wave study Swedish majority adolescents (N = 659; MageT1 13.41; MageT3 17.33) examined effects parents' peers' attitudes on changes youth toward immigrants as well an interplay between parent, peer, school context. The results multilevel analyses revealed that within-person...

This study examines whether political frames influence anti-immigrant attitudes among native populations in 21 European countries, and if this relationship is somehow moderated by personal experiences of intergroup contact. Using data from the Comparative Manifesto Project Social Survey, two indicators contact are tested: immigrant friends colleagues, to see they can counter effect nationalistic framing. The analysis reveals a positive between that In sense, extensive with immigrants seems...
This study examined short- and long-term effects of ethnic classroom diversity for intergroup relations in adolescence. Using a five-year panel Swedish majority youth ( M ageT1 = 13.40, ageT5 17.30), we found only limited direct on anti-immigrant attitudes. However, increased the likelihood cross-ethnic friendships, which turn was associated with lower levels Moreover, that effect friendships remained also after adolescents transitioned to new schools. The findings highlight importance...
After Russia's invasion of Ukraine, Sweden changed its historic position non-alignment and applied for membership in the NATO military alliance. This decision coincided with a shift public opinion favor membership, what has been described as largest fastest that ever measured Swedish history. We examine two aspects this “rally around flag effect” to explain change, effect crisis event itself political elite influence by analyzing within-individual changes university student population at...
Abstract This article synthesizes research on political outcomes associated with increasing immigration, an emphasis cross‐national studies of European countries, where immigration is a relatively newer phenomenon compared to the United States and other traditional immigrant destinations. We begin explanations anti‐immigrant sentiment, not in itself but considered important precursor relevant attitudes. Next, we review scholarship relationship between support for welfare state, as well...
Research on prejudice has shown that with whom we surround ourselves matters for intergroup attitudes, but these studies have paid little attention to the content of those interactions. Studies political socialization and deliberation focused interaction by examining transmission norms as well direct consequences discussion attitudes behavior. However, this literature not a potential consequence. In study, combine approaches examine if discussions peers during adolescence matter prejudice....

Using four waves data, collected 2020–2022, find evidence both pandemic cohort effects among Swedish (N = 3138). During pandemic's year increased regardless...
This article demonstrates the analytical advantages of studying not only degree to which people oppose immigration in a country, but also character their opposition. Using Latent Class Analysis and data from European Social Survey, Nordic patterns trends are examined with aim identifying different kinds attitudes how they develop national contexts. The countries interesting compare as, while similar many respects, diverge significantly each other areas theoretically considered important...

In an era of mass migration, social scientists, populist parties and movements raise concerns over the future immigration-destination societies. What impacts does this have on policy solidarity? Comparative cross-national research, relying mostly secondary data, has findings in different directions. There is a threat selective model reporting lack replicability. The heterogeneity countries obscures attempts to clearly define data-generating models. P-hacking HARKing lurk among standard...
After Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, Sweden changed its historic position non-alignment and applied for membership in the NATO military alliance. This decision coincided with large shift public opinion favor membership, what has been described as largest Swedish political since polling began. We examine two possible explanations this opinion, ‘rally around flag effect’ ‘elite influence effect’, by analyzing within-individual changes a university student population at three different time...
