Attitudes to migration and integration (completed)

Objectives

It is necessary to apply and develop the field’s terms and theories to understand and possibly change negative social and interpersonal processes which are seldom set in motion.

Empirical studies predict that one can measure different aspects of these processes; therefore this “umbrella project” has also covered development of instruments suited to measure some of these processes.
