Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: This paper investigates whether and how the presence of immigrants in federal constituencies in Australia impact on whites� attitudes toward immigration using the three most recent Australian Election Studies (2004, 2001 and 1998). More specifically, the paper examines whether economic variables (contextual and individual) mediate the impact of immigrants� presence of whites� attitudes toward immigration. Results indicate that in lower scale socio-economic areas whites tend to react negatively to the presence of immigrants� while in upper scale socioeconomic areas they tend to react positively to the presence of immigrants. Similarly, the results indicate that individuals who feel economically insecure react negatively to the presence of immigrants, whereas those who feel economically secure react positively. This study suggests that contact and conflict theories regarding the presence of immigrants and its impact on whites� attitudes complement each other rather than compete with one another.
