Different disciplines within the social sciences have produced large theoretical and empirical literatures to explain the determinants of anti-immigration attitudes. We bring together these literatures in a unified framework and identify testable hypothesis on what characteristics of the individual and of the local environment are likely to have an impact on anti-immigration attitudes. While most of the previous literature focuses on the explanation of attitudes at the individual level, we focus on the impact on regional characteristics (the local context). Our aim is to explain why people living in different regions differ in terms of their attitudes towards immigration. We isolate the impact of regions from regressions using individual-level data and explain this residual regional heterogeneity in attitudes with aggregate level indicators of regional characteristics. We find that regions with a higher percentage of immigrants born outside the EU and a higher unemployment rate among the immigrant population show a higher probability that natives express negative attitudes to immigration. Regions with a higher unemployment rate among natives however, show less pronounced anti-immigrant

and countries in the European Union will be considerably more ethnically diverse by the middle of the 21st century than they are today (Eurostat, 2010; Statistics Canada, 2010; U.S. Census Bureau, 2008). The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) recently ran a report stating that “about one-third of Canada’s population—up to 14.4 million people— will be a visible minority by 2031 ” (CBC, 2010). In the United States, CNN recently ran the story “Minorities Expected to Be Majority, ” which highlighted that “by 2050, 54 % of the population will be minorities ” (CNN, 2008). Conservative Pat Buchanan (2004) laments that “the Amer-ica of our grandchildren will be another country altogether, a nation unrecognizable to our parents.... White Americans will be a minority, 49 percent, and falling. When we all belong to ‘minorities, ’ what will hold us together? ” Do Buchanan’s expressions of alarm reflect a wider sense of threat that White Americans experience when considering growing ethnic diversity? Given that people are being made aware of impending demographic changes, it is important for social psychologists to examine how knowledge of these changes might affect current intergroup relations. In two studies—one in the United States and one in Canada—we look at the issue of growing ethnic diversity in terms of how expecting these changes might affect Whites ’ feelings toward ethnic minorities.

In this review, we highlight the importance of understanding diversity ideologies, or people’s beliefs and practices regarding diversity, for social psychological research on intergroup relations. This review focuses on two diversity ideologies, colorblindness and multiculturalism, and their impact on core issues related to intergroup conflict, such as stereotypes, prejudice, attitudes toward inequality, interracial interactions, and disparate outcomes between minority and majority group members. We close by highlighting some of the areas in which future research has the potential to be especially illuminating. Copyright © 2013 John
