Using data from the European Values Study, this study analyses the changes in these attitudes in the period 1990–2017. We find that negative attitudes have been increasing on average in Europe as a whole, with anti-Muslim attitudes being more prevalent than anti-immigrant attitudes.

These discrepancies are discussed in detail and related to several relevant factors, such as the differences in size of the Muslim and immigrant populations, variations in the refugee influx and other possible factors and developments.David Andreas BellMarko ValentaZan StrabacSpringerOpenarticleAnti-MuslimAnti-ImmigrantIslamophobiaPrejudiceWestern EuropeEastern EuropeSocial SciencesHCommunities.
