Support for collective action against refugees: The role of national, European, and global identifications, and autochthony beliefs

o understandrecent anti-refugee protests in Europe, we examinedhow different levels of inclusiveness of groupidentities(national, European, and global)are relatedtointentions to protest among native Europeans. We focused onthe mediating role of autochthony (a belief that the first inhabitants of a territory are more entitled) and the moderating role of threat. Survey data from 11 European countries (N=1909)showed that national identification was positively associated with autochthony, and therefore, with theintention to protestagainst refugees. In contrast, global identification was related to lower protest intentionsvia lower autochthony. These paths were found only among Europeans who perceived refugees as a threat. European identification was not related to the endorsement of autochthony or to collective action. These findings indicatewhy and when majority members arewilling to participate in collective action against refugees, and underscorethe importance of global identification in the acceptance ofrefugees.
