Zentrale Fragestellung:
RQ: How do national exogenous factors and media coverage on immigration influence the beliefs about the impact of immigration and attitudes towards immigration in Europe from 2001 to 2020?
RQ1: Can people’s attitudes toward immigration be explained by higher level structures such as the information environment in which public discourse about immigration is shaped?
H1: European nationals will have permanently more favorable attitudes toward immigrants from a similar ethnicity as the majority than toward immigrants from different ethnicity.
H2: People living in countries with a democratic corporatist media system have more positive attitudes toward immigration than those living in countries with a liberal or polarized pluralist media system.
RQ2: To what extent does political ideology moderate the effect of the amount of media coverage about immigration on attitudes toward immigration?
H1: Higher media coverage will be negatively associated with positive immigration attitudes among individuals on the political right in comparison to those from the center of the political spectrum.
H2: Higher media coverage will be positively associated with positive immigration attitudes among individuals on the political left in comparison to those from the center of the political spectrum.

Zentrale Forschungsbefunde:
Research shows that media coverage influences European attitudes toward immigration, promoting positivity but varying by political leanings and media quality. More positive views correlate with stronger public services and a high-quality media system, while effects differ significantly between the political right and left, thus reinforcing pre-existing beliefs and increasing opinion polarization.
Implikationen oder praktische Verwendbarkeiten:
Focus on enhancing policy frameworks, media approaches, community programs, and political communications to foster more inclusive attitudes toward immigration.
