Abstract

Abstract Native allies are critical to the success of immigrants’ social movements in East Asian countries because of their relatively small number. However, it remains unclear whether advocacy messages from natives or from immigrants are more effective in changing natives’ attitudes toward supporting immigrant-oriented policies. We hypothesize, from the perspective of social identity theory, that the persuasiveness of a message varies, depending on the identity of the group sending the message—that is, whether it is an in-group or an out-group. To test this hypothesis, we conducted a survey experiment using the case of granting local voting rights to immigrants in Japan. We found that support for granting local voting rights to immigrants does not decrease when the Japanese hear advocacy messages from the Japanese, however, it does decrease when they hear messages from Korean immigrants who stand to benefit from the granting of local suffrage. These results suggest that natives’ advocacy messages may increase support for immigrants.

谁应该呼吁倡导?权利倡导者对日本公众对移民投票权态度的影响
东亚国家移民社会运动的成功离不开本土盟友,因为本土盟友的数量相对较少。然而,目前尚不清楚来自当地人或移民的倡导信息在改变当地人对支持移民导向政策的态度方面是否更有效。我们假设,从社会认同理论的角度来看,信息的说服力是不同的,这取决于发送信息的群体的身份——也就是说,它是一个内群体还是一个外群体。为了验证这一假设,我们以日本给予移民当地投票权的案例进行了一项调查实验。我们发现,当日本人听到来自日本人的宣传信息时,对给予移民当地投票权的支持并没有减少,然而,当他们听到来自韩国移民的信息时,他们确实会从给予当地选举权中受益。这些结果表明,当地人的倡导信息可能会增加对移民的支持。
