Rights Recognition and Attitudes Toward Immigrants: Multicultural Inclusivity Revisited

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This study sheds light on the public apprehension of the cultural and civic rights for immigrants as an important factor that shapes “multicultural inclusivity”—the inclusive attitudes toward immigrants. Focusing on the notion of rights recognition for immigrants, the present study proposes the hypothesis that a greater acknowledgment of the importance of safeguarding cultural and civic rights for immigrants is positively associated with a higher level of multicultural inclusivity among the native population. To examine this hypothesis in the context of Korea, data from the 2021 National Multiculturalism Acceptance Survey were analyzed. The results were in accordance with the hypothesis.
That is, individuals’ recognition of cultural and civic rights for immigrants strongly predicted their attitudes in terms of a range of measures of multicultural inclusivity. This pattern provides valuable insights into identifying strategies to foster a more inclusive multiculturalism. It appears that policy interventions that prioritize rights recognition are a fundamental aspect of fostering an inclusive multicultural society.
