- Populism in Place: The Economic Geography of the Globalization Backlash (2019, unknown): “There is substantial evidence that local unemployment or other economic distress interacts with immigration to spur a political response (Knowles and Tropp 2018; Cerrato et al. 2018).”
- The “Great Replacement” conspiracy: How the perceived ousting of Whites can evoke violent extremism and Islamophobia (2021, result): “…replacement in this study were only mediated by symbolic threat, other studies show that Whites’ experience of both aversive economic conditions (i.e., realistic threat) and increased exposure to non-White minorities are associated with feelings of intergroup threat (e.g., Knowles & Tropp, 2018).”
- Contraction as a Response to Group Threat: Demographic Decline and Whites’ Classification of People Who Are Ambiguously White (2020, background): “…conservative policy positions (Craig and Richeson 2014b; Fox 2004; Wetts and Willer 2018), political parties (Abrajano and Hajnal 2015; Craig and Richeson 2014b; Willer, Feinberg, and Wetts 2016), and candidates, including Donald Trump (Knowles and Tropp 2018; Major, Blodorn, and Blascovich 2018).”
- An experimental approach to Intergroup Threat Theory: Manipulations, moderators, and consequences of realistic vs. symbolic threat (2018, background): “…Trump felt economically marginalised and threatened by the prospect of immigrants further reducing the number of available jobs in the US (realistic threat), as well as expressed a desire to “make America great again” by reverting to traditional values (symbolic threat; Knowles & Tropp, 2018).”
