论文摘要
政治取向使受教育人士在有争议的问题上的态度极化。在欧洲，一个极为有争议的问题是移民。我们在南欧中型城市的代表性样本中发现了对移民的看法相同的两极分化模式。具有较高算术，科学和经济素养的公民表现出对移民的更两极分化的看法，具体取决于他们的世界观取向。知识渊博的人认可平等 - 共产主义的世界观更赞成移民，而具有等级分别主义的世界观的知识渊博的人则不太支持移民。数值，经济和科学素养低的人没有表现出两极分化的态度。结果突出了社会政治取向对信息理论的核心作用在塑造移民态度方面。
Political orientation polarizes the attitudes of more educated individuals on controversial issues. A highly controversial issue in Europe is immigration. We found the same polarizing pattern for opinion toward immigration in a representative sample of citizens of a southern European middle-size city. Citizens with higher numeracy, scientific and economic literacy presented a more polarized view of immigration, depending on their worldview orientation. Highly knowledgeable individuals endorsing an egalitarian-communitarian worldview were more in favor of immigration, whereas highly knowledgeable individuals with a hierarchical-individualist worldview were less in favor of immigration. Those low in numerical, economic, and scientific literacy did not show a polarized attitude. Results highlight the central role of socio-political orientation over information theories in shaping attitudes toward immigration.
