Global mobility is the new reality of the modern world: every year, an increasing number of people decide to seek opportunities elsewhere. In recent decades, immigration has become a “hot” topic – it is a controversial topic with no shortage of opinions. Investigating public attitudes toward immigrants is important for many reasons. It helps to introduce new policies as well as gauge hostility and undertake measures to prevent violent outbursts. The question arises as to what the citizens of my country think of immigrants. The main hypotheses for the study are a positive attitude toward skilled migration and a negative attitude toward illegal/ unskilled migration.

The study design is cross-sectional and employs quantitative (statistical) methods. To evaluate the prevailing social mood, it is essential to recruit as many participants as possible; the minimal number is set at 100. While the sampling may be convenient for the sake of simplicity, it is still important to ensure the diversity of samples. For this reason, stratification may be considered a viable method (McCuscer and Gunaydin 540). Recruitment would be conducted online (questionnaires) and offline (personal interviews). The goal is to include both men and women as well as people belonging to different age groups, races, and ethnicities and expressing different political opinions. The survey will contain yes/ no and multiple answer questions to match the quantitative design of the study. Open questions are not considered as appropriate. The survey may include but is not limited to the following questions:

  1. Do you think the number of immigrants should be decreased?
  2. Do you think mass migration makes a worse place to live?
  3. Should we tighten border security?
  4. Should we introduce a quota allowing a certain number of immigrants?
  5. Who would be more welcome to the country:
    1. a skilled migrant from Australia;
    2. an unskilled migrant from Australia;
    3. a skilled migrant from Pakistan;
    4. an unskilled migrant from Pakistan.
  6. Who would be least welcome to the country:
    1. a skilled migrant from Australia;
    2. an unskilled migrant from Australia;
    3. a skilled migrant from Pakistan;
    4. an unskilled migrant from Pakistan.
  7. Do you think immigrants are as honest as hardworking as natives?
  8. Do you think a person’s skills matter more than their country of origin?
