The purpose of the article is to test the impact of various factors proposed by scholars as possible explanations for why an individual would oppose immigration. This research assumes quantitative methodology. To achieve the goal the authors use the Northern Ireland component of the data provided by the European Social Survey in 2003. The findings of the research show that social exposure and cultural marginality are the two key explanationsin predicting public opinion about immigration. Nevertheless, it can be assumed that social exposure stands out as the most important predictor of attitudes. In conclusion, the authors suggest that immigration policy makers should pay their attention to these two factors of predicting public attitudes towards immigration. As for the economic self-interest, it can have from little to no effect. This finding corresponds to some previous research results made by Fetzer in 2000 (Fetzer, 2011:18).In the article the authors use general studies in immigration and apply them to the specific area of the Northern Ireland. According to the results of their research, the immigrant population in this country is rather small. However, it is increasing. It is also important to point out that “the vast majority are concentrated in self-employed businesses… and are thus not in direct competition with the non-immigrant population interms of their employment practices” (Hayes and Dowds, 2006:472). I suppose that it is relevant also to the current situation in Scotland (inclusive of Glasgow). Although this research had only the Northern Ireland as a sample source, the theoretical part and the set of methods used in it are essential for understanding in order to conduct a profound study on the topic of my own project.
