Drawing on psychological and political science research on individuals'
sensitivity to threat cues, the present study examines reactions to political
posters that depict male immigrants as a sexual danger. We expect anti-immigrant
attitudes to be more strongly predicted by feelings of insecurity or
representations of men and women as strong and fragile when individuals are
exposed to sexual threat cues than when they are not. Results from two online
experiments conducted in Switzerland and Germany largely confirmed these
assumptions. Comparing two anti-immigrant posters (general and non-sexual threat
vs. sexual threat), Experiment 1 (n = 142) showed that feelings of insecurity
were related to an increased support for expelling immigrants from the host
country in both cases. However, only in the sexual threat cues condition and
among female participants, were perceptions of women as fragile-as measured with
benevolent sexism items-related to support for expelling immigrants. Further
distinguishing between different forms of violence threat cues, Experiment 2 (n =
181) showed that collective feelings of insecurity were most strongly related to
support for expelling immigrants when a male immigrant was presented as a violent
criminal. In contrast, benevolent sexist beliefs were related to anti-immigrant
stances only when participants were exposed to a depiction of a male immigrant as
a rapist. In both cases attitudes were polarized: on the one hand,
representations of immigrants as criminals provoked reactance reactions-that is,
more positive attitudes-among participants scoring low in insecurity feelings or
benevolent sexism. On the other hand, those scoring high in these dimensions
expressed slightly more negative attitudes. Overall, by applying social
psychological concepts to the study of anti-immigrant political campaigning, the
present study demonstrated that individuals are sensitive to specific threat cues
in posters.
