摘要：

This paper demonstrates that citizens in seven advanced industrialized democracies generally oppose more open immigration policies, but stand ready to admit individual immigrants. Using an experimental design, we demonstrate the applicability of the person-positivity bias to immigration and investigate the effects of economic and cultural deservingness on evaluations of individual immigrants. Our results show that immigrants from professional backgrounds elicit higher levels of support than unskilled workers. The bias against unskilled workers is enlarged among immigrants accompanied by families. In comparison with occupational status and the number of family dependents, the target immigrants cultural attributesuas measured by Middle Eastern nationality and Afrocentric appearanceuprove relatively inconsequential as criteria for evaluating immigrants.
