title = {Differences in political trust between migrants and non-migrants in pandemic times (Online-Appendix)},
year = {2023},
note = {Political trust is one aspect that might be affected by the COVID-19
pandemic and the strict government-implemented measures to fight the
virus. Previous studies report an increase in political trust at the
onset of the pandemic in several European countries, followed by a
marginal decline over the further course of the pandemic. However, it
is unclear how political trust changes among first and second
generation migrants in Germany compared to natives throughout the
pandemic. To address this question, we use data from the adult cohort
of the German National Educational Panel Study (NEPS) at one
measurement point before, and two during the pandemic. Consistent with
previous studies, our data show that pre-pandemic, political trust is
higher among first generation migrants than among second generation
migrants and natives. We examine how these previous differences evolve
throughout the pandemic. Our results indicate that political trust
increases significantly only for natives and second generation
migrants, but not for first generation migrants at the beginning of
the pandemic. Later in the first year of the pandemic, political trust
is higher than pre-pandemic for all groups. Neither vulnerabilities
nor sociodemographic control variables can explain the differences
between the groups.},
