There were around 281 million international migrants throughout the
world in 2020, nearly 4% of the global population. In the decades
to come, thanks to ongoing conflict, violence, political
instability and the effects of climate change, these numbers will
only rise. This book adopts a broad perspective of psychological
science, encompassing both causal and normative behavior, to
explore topics related to immigration including gentrification,
"crimmigration," and trust between immigrants and host-society
authorities. To some, immigrants represent a threat to the
established population's jobs, standard of living, communities,
culture, language, and safety. Others view immigrants as offering
economic benefits to society including new sources of labor and
consumption, and new technical skills and knowledge--not to mention
the economic and personal benefits immigrants and their families
might gain as well. While most immigrants leave their home
countries for job opportunities, millions of others have been
driven away due to conflict, extreme violence, political
instability, and climate change. Authors in this book provide
psychological reports of the immigration experience in North
America, Europe, Australia, New Zealand, and South America, and
address the challenges of integrating immigrants and refugees in
host societies. While critically assessing the immigration crisis
globally, this book offers practical solutions to problems of
contemporary immigration derived from theoretical constructs such
as the contact hypothesis and the common group identity model,
while also highlighting key areas of ongoing and future research.
