Abstract
The data presented in this data project were collected in the context of two H2020 research projects: ‘Enhanced migration measures from a multidimensional perspective’(HumMingBird) and ‘Crises as opportunities: Towards a level telling field on migration and a new narrative of successful integration’(OPPORTUNITIES).

Realistic and Symbolic Intergroup Threat
Right-wing Authoritarianism
Social Dominance Orientation
Political Efficacy
Personality Characteristics
Perceived COVID-threat, and

Respondents received an e-mail asking them to participate in a survey without specifying the subject matter, which was essential to avoid priming. Three weeks of fieldwork in May and June of 2021 resulted in a dataset of 13,645 respondents (a little over...
