Western countries have experienced a large influx of Muslim immigrants, and concomitantly the Muslim headscarf has become the subject of major controversy. Drawing on theories of stigma, social identity, and multiple discrimination/intersectionality, this study examines the effect of wearing this headscarf in the German labor market. The author applies the method of correspondence testing that allows measuring discrimination in a controlled field setting. Findings show that when applying for a job in Germany, women with a Turkish migration background are less likely to be invited for an interview, and the level of discrimination increases substantially if the applicant wears a headscarf. The results suggest that immigrant women who wear a headscarf suffer discrimination based on multiple stigmas related to ethnicity and religion.
西方国家涌入了大量穆斯林移民，与此同时，穆斯林头巾也成为了重大争议的焦点。本研究借鉴污名、社会认同和多重歧视/交叉性理论，考察了在德国劳动力市场佩戴这种头巾的影响。作者采用了对应测试方法，该方法能够在可控的实地环境中衡量歧视情况。研究结果表明，在德国求职时，有土耳其移民背景的女性获得面试邀请的可能性较小，而且如果求职者佩戴头巾，歧视程度会大幅增加。结果表明，佩戴头巾的移民女性因与种族和宗教相关的多重污名而遭受歧视。
