The current survey was fielded to investigate the dynamic interplay between media representations of different migrant groups and the governmental and societal (re)actions to immigration. With these data, we provide more insight into these societal reactions by investigating attitudes rooted in values and worldviews. Through an online survey, we collected quantitative data on attitudes towards:</p>
<ol>
<li>Immigrants, Refugees, Muslims, Hispanics, Venezuelans</li>
<li>News Media Consumption</li>
<li>Trust in News Media and Societal Institutions</li>
<li>Frequency and Valence of Intergroup Contact</li>
<li>Realistic and Symbolic Intergroup Threat</li>
<li>Right-wing Authoritarianism</li>
<li>Social Dominance Orientation</li>
<li>Political Efficacy</li>
<li>Personality Characteristics</li>
<li>Perceived COVID-threat, and</li>
<li>Socio-demographic Characteristics</li>
</ol>
For the adult population aged 25 to 65 in seven European countries:
<ol>
<li>Austria</li>
<li>Belgium</li>
<li>Germany</li>
<li>Hungary</li>
<li>Italy</li>
<li>Spain</li>
<li>Sweden</li>
</ol>
And for ages ranged from 18 to 65 for:
<ol>
<li>United States of America</li>
<li>Colombia</li>
</ol>
<p align="justify">The survey in the United States and Colombia was identical to the one in the European countries, although a few extra questions regarding COVID-19 and some region-specific migrant groups (e.g. Venezuelans) were added. We collected the data in cooperation with Bilendi, a Belgian polling agency, and selected the methodology for its cost-effectiveness in cross-country research. Respondents received an e-mail asking them to participate in a survey without specifying the subject matter, which was essential to avoid priming. Three weeks of fieldwork in May and June of 2021 resulted in a dataset of 13,645 respondents (a little over 1500 per country). Sample weights are included in the dataset and can be applied to ensure that the sample is representative for gender and age in each country. The cooperation rate ranged between 12% and 31%, in line with similar online data collections.</p>
