Three studies investigated the effects of British majority members' perceptions of minority members' acculturation preferences and perceived identity threat on their support for multiculturalism. The following hypotheses were tested: (1) a perception that minority members want to maintain their original culture will negatively affect support for multiculturalism; (2) a perception that minority members want to adopt the British culture will positively affect support for multiculturalism; and (3) a perception that minority members desire contact with British people will positively affect support for multiculturalism. All three effects were predicted to be mediated by identity threat. Studies 1 and 2 focussed on Pakistanis as a target group, and study 3 focussed on ethnic minority members more generally. All studies yielded evidence in support of the hypotheses. 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

- The Dynamics of Acculturation: An Intergroup Perspective (2011, background): “So far, our own evidence indicates that, at least in the realm of perceived outgroup acculturation preferences, it matters little for resulting intergroup attitudes whether one measures perceived desire for contact or perceived desire for cultural adoption (Tip et al., 2010).”
