Abstract:	The present report contributes to systematising recent empirical findings on public attitudes towards immigrants, in order to establish the foundations of the EUMigraTool Tension Function. We conduct a global, multi-disciplinary metaanalysis of 2096 effect sizes from 140 academic articles published in top-ranked, peer-reviewed academic journals in the fields of economics, political science, sociology, psychology and migration/ethnic/demography studies in the past decade (2009-2019). There are roughly 150 different types of attitudes to immigration and immigrants included in the scholarly literature, ranging from attitudes and policy preferences towards integration, personal feelings about immigrants, to prejudice and trust towards immigrants. Since parts of the spectrum of attitudes are not comparable, we cannot combine all of the categories into a single analysis. Therefore, we concentrate on two broad categories that we identify as the most frequent and most relevant below - policy preferences regarding the level of immigration into the country and the contribution of immigrants to society. These are also the two attitudes most relevant for the development of the EUMigraTool as they bring the most potential policy consequences.
