The second part of the codebook contains information on variables: question texts, response options, and frequencies. The third part contains indexes. Variable distributions presented in this codebook have been generated from the SPSS files. Distribution tables present variable values, frequencies (n), frequency percentages (%), and valid percentages (v. %) which take into account missing data. All distributions are unweighted. If the data contain weight variables, these will be found at the end of the variables list. In some cases frequency distributions have been substituted by descriptive statistics.

Abstract The survey, commissioned by the tabloid newspaper Iltalehti, charted public opinion on Finland s refugee policy and asylum seekers arriving in the country. First, the respondents were asked whether they accepted that Finland opened new reception centres for asylum seekers. Views were also probed on whether Finland should select asylum seekers based on their religion, that is, accept only those who are Christians. The respondents were asked to what extent they agreed with the following three statements: Finland should do more to help Europe deal with the migrant crisis, The majority of asylum seekers are only seeking a better standard of living, that is, they have no real need for protection, Finland offers too generous social security benefits for asylum seekers. Finally, the respondents were asked how problematic or untrue they thought some issues/statements were. The issues presented related to asylum seekers being young males, mostly muslims, dark-skinned, not looking poor and distressed, and whether asylum seekers would integrate into Finnish society and become taxpayers. Background variables included the respondent s gender, age, region of residence, occupational status and economic activity, household income and size, household composition, the ages of children living at home and political preferences. 1.3 Structure and collection of the data Country: Finland Geographic coverage: Finland Analysis or observation unit type: Individual 2

31 JOHDANTO: Eurooppaan saapuu aikaisempaa enemmän turvapaikanhakijoita Syyriasta ja muista Lähi-idän maista sekä Pohjois-Afrikasta ja Afganistanista. Suomeenkin on jo tänä vuonna tullut yli 5000 turvapaikanhakijaa, enemmän kuin koko viime vuonna. Maahanmuuttovirasto päättää, ketkä saavat turvapaikan ja voivat jäädä Suomeen. 1. Hyväksyttekö sen, että Suomi avaa uusia vastaanottokeskuksia maahan tuleville turvapaikanhakijoille? Kyllä Ei Ei osaa sanoa 2. Pitäisikö Suomen valikoida turvapaikanhakijoita uskonnon perusteella, eli otettaisiin maahan vain kristittyjä turvapaikanhakijoita, ei esimerkiksi muslimeita? Kyllä Ei Ei osaa sanoa 3. Mitä mieltä olette seuraavista väittämistä? Vastatkaa asteikolla Täysin samaa mieltä Jokseenkin samaa mieltä Jokseenkin eri mieltä Täysin eri mieltä Ei osaa sanoa Suomen pitää tehdä nykyistä enemmän Euroopan pakolaiskriisin hoitamiseksi Valtaosa turvapaikanhakijoista on vain etsimässä parempaa elintasoa, eli heillä ei ole todellista suojelun tarvetta Suomessa on liian hyvät sosiaalituet turvapaikanhakijoille 4. Julkisuudessa on esitetty erilaisia väittämiä turvapaikanhakijoista. Ovatko seuraavat asiat Teidän mielestänne ongelmallisia? Vastatkaa jokaiseen kohtaan: Erittäin ongelmallinen asia Hieman ongelmallinen asia Ei ongelmallinen asia Väite ei ole totta Ei osaa sanoa Suurin osa tulijoista on nuoria miehiä Tulijat ovat pääosin muslimeja

32 Tulijat tuovat mukanaan rikollisuutta Monet tulijat ovat tummaihoisia Tulijat eivät näytä köyhiltä ja hädänalaisilta, onhan heillä ehjät vaatteet ja kännykät Tulijoiden edustama kulttuuri estää heidän sopeutumisensa Suomeen Useimmista turvapaikanhakijoista ei koskaan tule Suomelle veronmaksajia
