The analysis aims to provide the hypothesis that the emerging anti-immigration movements in Germany made use of people’s concerns on the issues of immigration, trust in the political system of Germany and economic insecurity to find support. It shows on which ground anti-immigration movements in Germany reached popularity. The democratic deficit problem is a perceived problem in Germany. The European-level problem can be seen as rooted in Germany’s role in the EU. Three channels are identified which shape the attitude on migration: Dislike of immigrants, economic concerns and trusting other people. The analysis provides empirical evidence within a theoretical framework to a current topic in economics which was mainly restricted to people’s attitudes towards migration. Furthermore, the analysis provides empirical evidence for the corporatism hypothesis and channels shaping the attitude towards migration.

The Relationship

A growing body of empirical evidence has shown that although social support (SS) can predict subjective well-being (SWB), the relationship between SS and SWB is still unclear. In this study we investigated the role that positive psychological capital (PPC) plays in the relationship between SS and SWB. The results showed that PPC, SS, and SWB were positively related. The more important result, however, was that PPC mediated the relationship between SS and SWB. The findings are discussed in the context of the importance of PPC for SWB. Limitations in this study and implications for future research are identified.

Moderator Variables

Illness intrusiveness results when medical conditions and their treatment interfere with continued participation in lifestyles, valued activities, and interests. The Illness Intrusiveness theoretical framework outlines the sources, consequences, and moderator variables that shape the psychosocial impact of illness intrusiveness on subjective well-being. This chapter outlines the illness intrusiveness theoretical framework and reviews the empirical evidence. It critiques the published literature that evaluates self-management efforts to minimize illness intrusiveness to preserve subjective well-being. It concludes with suggestions for future research. An appendix addresses the measurement of illness intrusiveness and reviews the literature bearing on the development and psychometric evaluation of the Illness Intrusiveness Ratings Scale.
