Abstract

The present study examined gender differences in attitudes towards immigration of Polish citizens to the UK. Participants: 60 men (mean age =26.21, SD=2.51) and 60 women
(mean age=26.15, SD=3.73) participated in the investigation. A 30 item questionnaire was administered to the participants and subjected to the Principle Component
Analysis. Factor analysis showed 3 strong factors which were labeled as “domestic preference”, “lifestyle patterns” and “social participation”. The results of statistical
analysis showed that Polish women have more preference for the Polish lifestyle than Polish men. However, results of regression analysis showed that as well as gender other
significant predictors affecting attitudes towards living in the UK are the length of stay and level of education. Implications of the findings are discussed.

KeywordsPolish migrants, immigration, gender differences, social participation, domestic preference, lifestyle patterns.
