What is it about?
Two studies were conducted to develop a new instrument called the Attitudes Toward Migrant Integration Policies scale and to understand whether attitudes toward integration policies differ within generations (e.g., ethnic majority and minority groups), within families (e.g., adolescents vs. their fathers), and across generational groups (i.e., adolescents, parents, and teachers).

Why is it important?
A new instrument capable of providing us with a detailed picture of individuals' inclusiveness, such as the AMIP scale, can serve as a social thermometer that guides politicians and administrators in addressing possible gaps between citizens' perceived importance of specific policies and their actual implementation, ensuring that government decisions align with public priorities.
