AB - This study explores social distance toward immigrants perceived by mainstream Koreans. Social distance is measured via psychological acceptance of immigrants as ‘neighbors’ and perception towards giving priority of works on immigrants. The data from the World Value Survey(2015) were used for an empirical analysis. The findings are as follows. First, there was a split response between acceptance and exclusion regarding perception toward immigrants as "neighbors", while their perceptions in terms of "job-seekers" was predominately negative. Second, their stress over the limited resource taken by immigrants affected their negative perceptions toward immigrants, particularly among those who were less educated, temporarily employed, and belong to the lower social class. Mainstream Koreans in the highest social class, however, had extremely negative perceptions toward immigrants as "neighbors" rather than "job seekers". Third, negative perceptions toward immigrants as "job seekers" appeared even stronger among the respondents who were younger, male, unemployed and had more children.
