Befund zum Item:

For item a, those respondents who disagreed with the statement argued that immigration is good in itself and that it occurs primarily for other reasons (e.g., wars):
  • "Immigration happens even without climate change." (TP235, response: rather disagree)
  • "I think that migration from other countries has nothing to do with climate change, but rather with war and famine." (TP290, response: strongly disagree)

Test persons who agreed with the statement justified their answers, among other things, with the concern that increased immigration could lead to overpopulation and make living together more difficult:

  • "More people means less housing or more needs to be built." (TP263, response: strongly agree)
