Summary/Abstract: Attitudes towards international migrants and migration have become increasingly polarised over the past decade. The European ‘asylum crisis’ of 2015–16 has exacerbated negative feelings towards migration while also bringing particular solidarity initiatives to the fore (Rea et al., 2019). The emotional responses generated by migration can produce social representations framed by humanitarian or security-oriented discourses as well as the categorisation of migrants based on their perceived (un)deservingness.
