General Information
Title
Threatening Identities: Interaction and Conflict in the Multicultural Netherlands
Project Number

Abstract
In January 2009, the LISS panel was presented a questionnaire about multi-cultural society in the Netherlands. Non-native panel members were presented questions about their own population group, while native Dutch respondents were assigned to groups at random. Depending on the group to which they were assigned, they were presented questions about one of the non-native population groups (Antilleans, Indonesians, Moroccans, Surinamese or Turks).
Longitudinal Type
Single Wave Study
Note
This questionnaire was fielded at the end of another questionnaire: Religion and Ethnicity, wave 2 (module of LISS Core Study).
