Abstract

Fehleinschätzungen über Zuwanderung und geringe persönliche Kontakte mit Zugewanderten können die Einstellung gegenüber Zuwanderung beeinflussen. Wir untersuchen auf der Basis von Umfragedaten zu Thüringen, welche Rolle die Bereitstellung von Informationen für die Veränderung von Einstellungen spielt. Unsere Studie liefert wichtige Erkenntnisse. Befragte, die Informationen über den Anteil von Zugewanderten in ihrer Region erhalten, entwickeln eine positivere Einstellung gegenüber Zuwanderung. Zudem reagieren insbesondere Befragte mit unterdurchschnittlich ausgeprägten Kontakten mit Zugewanderten und Befragte mit größeren Fehleinschätzungen stärker auf die Informationen.
