Luso-tropicalism, attitudes, gender and emotions facing labor market competition with immigrants in Portugal

Abstract

As ideias relativas à ausência de preconceitos por parte dos portugueses, tendo as suas raízes históricas nas crenças Luso-tropicalistas do colonialismo português, estão largamente disseminadas no senso comum dos portugueses. O nosso objectivo foi estudar entre os estudantes universitários portugueses a associação destas crenças luso-tropicalistas com as atitudes face à imigração e as emoções perante um cenário ficcional de competição no mercado do trabalho que envolve um imigrante, e no qual o participante é colocado em desvantagem. Foi verificado que as atitudes negativas face aos grupos étnicos (preconceito), mas não o Luso-tropicalismo, nem o nacionalismo tradicional, tiveram um impacto significativo na oposição face à imigração. Porém, o Luso-tropicalismo predisse mais tristeza e menos indiferença no cenário. Também quisemos estudar como é que a interacção entre o género dos participantes e o género do imigrante influenciou as emoções no cenário ficcional. Os participantes do género masculino sentiram-se simultaneamente mais solidários e humilhados quando o imigrante era um homem, diferindo das participantes do género feminino a um nível significativo. A nossa investigação contribui para o conhecimento da complexidade dos efeitos emocionais da adesão ao Luso-tropicalismo em situações possíveis de competição no mercado de trabalho. Também contribui para a evidência de que o género dos imigrantes deve ser tomado em consideração ao estudar-se a aceitação de uma população imigrante pelos membros de uma sociedade de acolhimento.

The ideas concerning the lack of prejudice among Portuguese people, having its historical roots in the Luso-tropicalist beliefs related to the Portuguese colonialism, have been vastly disseminated in the Portuguese common sense. Our aim was to study among Portuguese college students the linking of these Luso-tropicalist beliefs to the attitudes towards immigration and to the emotions facing a fictional scenario of labor market competition that involves an immigrant, and in which the participant is put in disadvantage. It was found that only negative attitudes towards ethnic groups (prejudice), but not Luso-tropicalism, and also not traditional nationalism, had a significant impact on the opposition towards immigration. However, Luso-tropicalism predicted more sadness and less indifference in the fictional scenario. We also wanted to study how the interaction between the gender of the participants and the gender of the immigrant influenced the emotions in the fictional scenario. Male participants felt simultaneously more solidary and humiliated when the immigrant was a man, differing from the female participants at a significant level. Our research contributes to acknowledge the complexity of the emotional effects of adhesion to Luso-tropicalism on possible labor market competition situations. It also contributes to the evidence that the gender of the immigrants must be taken into account when studying the acceptance of an immigrant population by the members of a host society.
