A migrációval és a migrációs politikával kapcsolatos attitűdök Magyarországon és Európában (2014-18)

The aim of this chapter is to investigate public opinion on migration generally, and more specifically attitudes toward asylum seekers during the migration crisis affecting Europe. The time frame of our analysis is 2014 to 2018, as we analyse the public attitudes of Hungarian and European citizens before, during and after the peak of the migration crisis. The structure is as follows: first, international longitudinal data will be presented, drawing on European comparative surveys during 2014–18; secondly, we focus our attention on the so-called Visegrád countries and the joint research that took place in Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Hungary (the V4 countries) between August and October 2015. Thirdly, we zoom in on the Hungarian data related to asylum seekers arriving from different source countries and analyse the social basis of the migration-related question. Finally, we summarize our results.
