🧭 What happens to immigrants’ attitudes toward other immigrants?

New #OpenAccess article with @evs-values.bsky.social shows group empathy drives positive immigrant attitudes early on, but assimilation makes views align with natives over time.

Losing Empathy With Assimilation: Immigrants' Attitudes Toward Other Immigrants in Europe

According to cultural assimilation theories, immigrants generally tend to adopt the values and attitudes of the native population, as seen in areas such as gender equality, religiosity, and trust. Th...

How does the local #context affect the #integration of #migrants? The BOnD project analyzes the effect of urban and rural contexts on #acculturation processes and on the ways in which cultural values influence the socioeconomic integration of migrants.

So it turns out the whole age-period-cohort thing goes way back, with super cool graphs being generated *in the 1870s.* Check out Keiding (2011): onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

(Perozzo, 1880a, Tab. V). This representation of the development of the Swedish population 1750–1875 was redrawn by Perozzo from a similar (black) stereogram by Berg (1860). The representation corresponds to Zeuner's stereograms with a (cohort, age) diagram in the horizontal plane. The red lines represent censuses (cross-sections at fixed calendar years) and the blue lines represent the survival of cohorts.

(Zeuner, 1869, Figure 1). The Zeuner sheet. Z is the number of individuals born at time Y and still alive at age X.
