The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Prejudice And Minority Proportion: Contact Instead Of Threat Effects (2006, background): “Especially relevant is a recent study by Semyonov et al. (2004). They used 1996 Allbus data, a probability survey of the adult German population, and focused on threat theory.”
The relationship between outgroup size and anti-outgroup attitudes: A theoretical synthesis and empirical test of group threat- and intergroup contact theory (2010, background): “However, the empirical evidence that outgroup size increases anti-outgroup attitudes was judged inconclusive (Semyonov et al., 2004, p. 684; Wagner et al., 2006, p. 381f.).”
Population Ratios and Prejudice: Modelling Both Contact and Threat Effects (2010, background): “Figure 1 replicates the importance of the perception of the outgroup’s population proportion found earlier by Semyonov et al. (2004).”
The Ties That Bind and Those That Don't: Toward Reconciling Group Threat and Contact Theories of Prejudice (2006, background): “One study indicates that Germans’ perceptions of racial/ethnic composition are directly related to feelings of threat, but not prejudice (Semyonov et al. 2004).”
