The data presented in this composition give the occasion to comparatively assay anti-immigrant and anti-refugee stations, news and social media consumption, and political stations(e.g., social dominance exposure, right- sect despotism) of the adult population in seven European countries( Austria, Belgium, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Spain, Sweden), the United States, and Colombia in 2021( N=,645). These countries were named for their variety in public characteristics littoral and non-coastal border countries, large and small husbandry, countries with major and minor political influence, and countries with varying degrees of fashion ability as shelter candidate destinations. We conducted an online check which amongst others included questions on socio- demographic characteristics, attitudinal pointers, and information on news and social media consumption. These data can be of interest for migration experimenters and/ or media scholars who want to explore (relative) dynamics of out group stations, trouble comprehensions, and/ or news and social media consumption, and for policy makers who seek to impact public stations towards immigration and settlers.

The data presented in this composition were collected in the environment of two H2020 exploration projects ‘Enhanced migration measures from a multidimensional perspective ’(Hum Ming Bird) and ‘heads as openings Towards a position telling field on migration and a new narrative of successful integration ’(openings). The current check was contended to probe the dynamic interplay between media representations of different migratory groups and the governmental and societal (re) conduct to immigration. With these data, we give further sapience into these societal responses by probing stations embedded in values and worldviews. Through an online check, we collected quantitative data on stations towards emigrants, deportees, Muslims, Hispanics, news media consumption, trust in news media and societal institutions, frequency and valence of intergroup contact, realistic and emblematic intergroup trouble, right- sect despotism, social dominance exposure, political efficacy, personality characteristics, perceived COVIDtrouble, and socio- demographic characteristics for the adult population aged 25 to 65 in seven European countries Austria, Belgium, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Spain, Sweden. In the United States and Colombia, periods ranged from 18 to 65. The check in the United States and Colombia was identical to the one in the European countries, although a many redundant questions regarding COVID- 19 and some region-specific migratory groups (e.g. Venezuelans) were added. We collected the data in cooperation with Bilendi, a Belgian polling agency, and named the methodology for its cost- effectiveness in cross-country exploration. Repliers entered ane-mail asking them to share in a check without specifying the subject matter, which was essential to avoid priming. Three weeks of fieldwork in May and June of 2021 redounded in a dataset of 645 repliers (a little over 1500 per country). Sample weights are included in the dataset and can be applied to insure that the sample is representative for gender and age in each country. The cooperation rate ranged between 12 and 31, in line with analogous online data collections [1]. While the distribution of repliers by several socio- demographic characteristics, Table 2 presents mean scores of named pointers on stations, political stations, news media consumption and trust, perceived trouble, and intergroup contact.
Experimental Design, Accoutrements and styles
Despite the growing attention to the part of news media as a contextual motorist in the station conformation to migration, numerous public and transnational data sources continue to parade a variety of failings (limited to a single country, lack of detail in media consumption dimension, vague station measures). This dataset aims to remedy some of these failings, for illustration by including further information on news media exposure and news media trust( among others) alongside variables measuring stations towards different out groups [2, 3]. To epitomize, we developed an online public opinion check that was contended among Austrian, Belgian, Colombian, German, Hungarian, Italian, Spanish, Swedish, and U.S. residers aged 25 (or 18 for Colombia and U.S.) to 65, representative for gender and age. The check was distributed by Bilendi, a request exploration and online polling agency with conclude- in panels, active in all countries included in the dataset. The fieldwork included the use of impulses to maximize the response rate. Actors who completed the check entered a number of points that they were suitable to save in exchange for tickets. The check we developed consists of seven themes socio- demographic characteristics, political stations, media- and news consumption, trust in media and societal institutions, stations towards and contact with settlers, cerebral pointers, and COVID-19-indicators. In what follows, we punctuate several measures. All data were reused and gutted through SPSS Version 26. Below, we give a brief overview of some of the variables in the dataset [4-7].
Public stations towards out groups
To assess sentiments towards out groups in each country, we presented a feeling thermometer question. Repliers were asked to indicate how they felt towards emigrants, deportees, with a score of 0 representing veritably cold or negative passions while a score of 10 indicates veritably warm or positive passions. In order to insure that all repliers had a invariant understanding of the individualities that we considered to be an emigrant or an exile, we presented the UN description of these groups
“An emigrant should be understood as covering all cases where the decision to resettle is taken freely by the individual concerned, for reasons of' particular convenience' and without intervention of an external compelling reason (e.g., war, natural disaster) “A exile is someone who has been forced to flee his or her country because of persecution, war, or violence. An exile has a well- innovated fear of persecution for reasons of race, religion, nation, political opinion or class in a particular social group” We easily stressed these two delineations so that repliers would be suitable to distinguish between emigrants and deportees and give a dependable dimension of stations for each group. Likewise, we also asked about passions towards Muslims (not in U.S. and Colombia), Hispanics (U.S. only), and Venezuelans [8-10].
News consumption
Repliers were asked about their news consumption patterns via traditional broadcast, press, and online news platforms during the once month, with answer orders ranging from 1(no way) to 7(every day). Both TV and radio consumption were resolve into two groups public and marketable broadcasters. For the review and online news consumption, the most generally read journals and generally visited webpages in each country were included independently. This selection of journals was grounded on information concerning the rotation of journals in each country. Online and social media were also included. For online media, utmost of the websites of the leading journals were named, with some fresh online-only news outlets.
Perceived intergroup trouble and intergroup contact
To measure perceived intergroup trouble, we included two main types of trouble. A first set of pointers assesses profitable (or realistic) trouble. This was measured by four statements/ questions ‘Have (your country)’s crime problems increased or dropped by deportees coming to live then? Would you say that deportees who come to live then generally take jobs down from workers in( your country), or generally help to produce new jobs? Utmost deportees who come to live then work and pay levies. They also use health and weal services. On balance, do you suppose deportees who come then take out further than they put in or put in further than they take out? And would you say it's generally bad or good for (your country)'s frugality that deportees come to live then from other countries? [10].
Two particulars were presented to assess emblematic (or artistic) trouble would you say that (your country)’s artistic life is generally undermined or amended by deportees coming to live then from other countries? And Generally speaking, values and beliefs of deportees aren't compatible with those of( your country) ’. Both types of trouble were measured on an 11- point scale, with the high end of the scale signifying a low degree of trouble. These pointers on profitable and artistic trouble stem from the rotating module on immigration in Round 1 and Round 7 of the European Social Survey.
