La orientación a la dominancia social y la identidad nacional en las actitudes hacia las políticas migratorias: el papel mediador de la amenaza percibida y el tamaño del exogrupo
La finalidad de este estudio es analizar en una muestra aleatoria de 196 ciudadanos españoles la relación entre las actitudes hacia las políticas migratorias y una serie de factores psicosociales (identidad nacional, orientación a la dominancia social, tamaño percibido del exogrupo y amenaza percibida). El análisis bivariado pone de manifiesto que dichas relaciones son estadísticamente significativas. Al aplicar un modelo de ecuaciones estructurales se constata que la identidad nacional y la orientación a la dominancia social influyen en las actitudes hacia las políticas migratorias pero sólo a través de la valoración del tamaño del exogrupo y la amenaza percibida. Estas últimas actuarían como variables mediadoras.
