This paper explores attitudes towards immigrants in European countries. In which countries are attitudes towards immigrants relatively more positive, and which countries exhibit relatively more negative attitudes towards immigrants? What is the relationship between macroeconomic variables, GDP per capita, economic growth rates, unemployment rates and attitudes towards immigrants? How do attitudes towards immigrants change with regard to age, gender, education, income, trust in politicians, place of residence, place of birth, discrimination and tradition? To find answers to these questions, a regression and correlation anlaysis is implemented in this study based on data from the nineth round of the European social study. The analysis covers 27 countries. The results show that economically more developed countries, i.e. countries with higher GDP per capita have more positive attitudes towards immigrants. More educated people, people who live in the city, people who were born in the country and people who do not think that it is important to follow tradition and have more trust in politicians have more positive attitudes toward immigrants. Older people and people who are not members of a group that has experienced discrimination have more negative attitudes towards immigrants. This is in line with theoretical assumptions and previous empirical research. Unemployed people have more positive attitudes toward immigrants, which is not in line with expectations.
