Eine sozialpsychologische Analyse zur Reduzierung sozialer Diskriminierung von Migranten

Migration has changed German society. Recently, this is being increasingly discussed also at the political level. Even though an integration of migrants is being aspired, migrants often face social discrimination - which in turn impedes successful integration. Based on the social-cognitive approach and the social identity approach, the current article gives and overview on the current research on factors both leading to and counteracting social discrimination. This overview in turn serves as a basis for deriving recommendations regarding the design of political and societal processes aiming at a successful societal integration of migrants by means of a reduction of social discrimination. Subsequently, the derived recommendations are integrated and discussed. Also, both the relevancy to practice as well as boundaries of social psychological research for these issues is illustrated.
