Citations in the corpus

• The “Great Replacement” conspiracy: How the perceived ousting of Whites can evoke violent extremism and Islamophobia (2021, background): “More specifically, these studies found a positive relationship between the relative size of outgroups and different derogative manifestations against them (e.g., Schlueter & Scheepers, 2010).”
• The Pitfalls and Promise of Increasing Racial Diversity: Threat, Contact, and Race Relations in the 21st Century (2018, background): “…the actual presence of immigrants in one’s neighborhood can predict perceptions that immigrants are threatening and engender anti-immigrant attitudes, having immigrant neighbors can also predict positive intergroup contact, thereby reducing anti-immigrant attitudes (Schlueter & Scheepers, 2010).”
• What determines attitudes to immigration in European countries? An analysis at the regional level (2013, background): “As already mentioned, conflict theory predicts anti-immigration attitudes to increase with immigrant group size, while contact theory expects diversity to promote familiarity and tolerance (Stein et al. 2000; Schlueter and Scheepers 2010).”
• The Big Five Personality Traits and Attitudes towards Immigrants (2014, background): “…2010; Coenders and Scheepers 2008; Hainmueller and Hiscox 2010; Hayes and Dowds 2006; Masso 2009; Meuleman, Davidov, and Billiet 2009; Pettigrew and Tropp 2006; Semyonov, Raijman, and Gorodzeisky 2006, 2008; Rustenbach 2010; Schlueter and Scheepers 2010; Sniderman, Hagendoorn, and Prior 2004).”
• Consequences of Diversity for Social Cohesion and Prejudice: The Missing Dimension of Intergroup Contact (2015, background): “A limitation of many empirical investigations of conflict theory is, however, that they do not measure and test the effects of diversity on individuals’ subjective perceptions of threat (for exceptions see, e.g., Scheepers, Gijsberts, & Coenders, 2002; Schlueter & Scheepers, 2010).”
