      ab: Amidst rising hostilities and repatriation calls in countries hosting refugees, understanding the dynamics of native perceptions becomes crucial for addressing the growing tensions. This study utilizes an original factorial survey experiment to explore native perceptions of refugee return. In doing so, it identifies resentment -arising from perceived unfair resource allocation to refugees- as a driving factor shaping respective native attitudes. Results suggest that as resentment builds up, natives become more likely to demand refugees' repatriation. Resentment's influence is particularly pronounced in healthcare and education policies, highlighting its context-dependent nature in explaining attitudes. Moreover, the effect of resentment remains robust even when considering alternative predictors (i.e. threat perceptions and contact). This underscores the complex nature of host attitudes towards refugees, suggesting that perceptions of fairness and justice in resource distribution are central to understanding the increasing number of calls for repatriation among native populations. Providing insights from Turkey, an understudied case in migration studies, this study also contributes to our understanding of whether and how existing theories about the drivers of attitudes toward refugees play out in non-Western contexts.
