The Production of the ›Others‹: (De-)Thematizing Migration-Related Difference (A01)

• Subject Area: Social Psychology, Industrial and Organisational Psychology
• Term: since 2024
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 501120656

The project analyses the production and maintenance of (non-)migrantized figures and associated prejudices at the individual level. Through a series of mainly quantitative social psychological sub-studies, it investigates the individual and socio-political motives for the use of three different diversity strategies - "multiculturalism", "color-blindness" and "deconstruction" - and the influence they have on the production of (non-)migrantized figures and associated prejudices. The project also includes methodologically reflexive studies on the possible reproduction of prejudices in and through questionnaires.
