Can narratives of white identity reduce opposition to immigration and support for Hard Brexit? A survey experiment
Britain’s vote to leave the European Union highlights the importance of white majority opposition to immigration. This article presents the results of a survey experiment examining whether priming an open form of ethno-nationalism based on immigrant assimilation reduces hostility to immigration and support for right-wing populism in Britain. Results show that drawing attention to the idea that assimilation leaves the ethnic majority unchanged significantly reduces hostility to immigration and support for Hard Brexit in the UK. Treatment effects are strongest among UKIP, Brexit and white working-class voters. This is arguably the first example of an experimental treatment leading to more liberal immigration policy preferences

Antecedents of Trust among Citizens and Non-citizens in Qatar
Utilizing new survey data on social capital, we examine the determinants and
locus of generalized trust among citizens and immigrants in Qatar, a small, heterogeneous,
wealthy, and non-democratic country in which immigrants far outnumber
citizens. Scholars of social capital have explored the development of generalized trust
in many countries. Most of this attention has focused on the Western world, and little is
known about how trust forms in other contexts. Our findings show that important
insights resulting from research in developed democracies apply and have explanatory
power in some of the very different environments present in Qatar, that these insights
do not apply and have explanatory power in some of the other environments present in
Qatar, that circumstances and experiences that characterize this array of environments
can be identified and described in terms of variable attributes, and that linkages can be
established between these attributes and particular antecedents of generalized trust
