📢 New publication with @conradziller.bsky.social in #PoliticalPsychology "Exploring the role of social openness for pro-diversity attitudes in urban and rural places"

onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....
Abstract Neighborhoods are important spaces where people participate in social interactions, and existing research has demonstrated that the social and physical environment plays a pivotal role in shaping residents' social and political attitudes. This study investigates the influence of social openness in neighborhoods, defined as residents' perceptions of their co-residents being open to change, on attitudes toward diversity. Building on existing research on rural–urban differences in socio-political attitudes, we hypothesize that the link between social openness and pro-diversity attitudes differs between rural and urban areas. Specifically, we argue that individuals who live in densely populated areas are more frequently exposed to cues of social openness compared to those who live in areas with low population density (even if the average social openness is equal for both). The study leverages data from two large-N geocoded surveys in Germany to create contextual measures of social openness and assesses their relationship with pro-diversity attitudes. Empirical results from multilevel models show that social openness is positively related to pro-diversity attitudes but only in densely populated areas. Our results have important implications for place-based approaches to immigrant integration and social cohesion more generally.
