Abstract

The present study uses a quantitative approach to analyse the relationship between education level and stated attitudes toward immigration among the Spanish resident. Data from the European Social Survey (ESS) has been analysed using three quantitative
techniques: bivariate analysis, segmentation and multiple linear regression. Results confirm the association between both variables, albeit influenced by family origin and with an intensity below expected in comparison with other intervening factors.
