Individual Gendered Attitudes toward Immigrants. Empirical Evidence from French Surveys 1 Published in The Social Science Journal, 50, 3, 2013, Pages 321–330 Abel François, EM Strasbourg Business School, Strasbourg University (LaRGE) (abel.francois@unistra.fr) and Raul Magni-Berton, Grenoble University (Pacte), Science Po Grenoble (raul.magni-berton@iep-grenoble.fr) Abstract: This article explores “gendered attitudes” towards immigrants and argues there are three gendered effects on intolerance: i. the “gender gap” that induces different levels of intolerance for men and women; ii. “gendered sensitivity”, meaning men and women react differently to contact or competition with immigrants; iii. the “relative sex ratio” related to the demographic gender changes in the environment due to immigrants. These hypotheses are tested using the French WVS data and three different measurements of intolerance: soft and hard intolerance and relative empathy. The results highlight that the simple gender gap, already observed in the literature, can be partly accounted for by both gendered sensitivity and the relative sex ratio. More broadly, the findings confirm the hypothesis of gendered attitudes towards immigrants defined by three dimensions. 1 We would like to thank Eric Dubois for his helpful work on data, Camille Bromley and Anna Jeannesson for their work on the text, and a referee for his valuable comments.
