California's Proposition 187, directed primarily toward Mexican immigrants, deprives illegal immigrants of many benefits associated with U.S. citizenship and facilitates their deportation. The authors hypothesized that the respondents' opinions on this proposition would be determined by in-group-out-group bias (i.e., the tendency to evaluate the ethnic out-group more negatively than the ethnic in-group). In accord with that hypothesis, variations in respondent ethnicity (Studies 1 and 2) and in immigrant ethnicity (Study 3) were systematically related to the respondents' opinion on that issue. Moreover, the effect of in-group-out-group bias was independent of perceived reasoned economic and legal considerations that underlay the respondents' opinion.
加利福尼亚州的187号提案主要针对墨西哥移民，剥夺了非法移民许多与美国公民身份相关的福利，并促使他们被驱逐出境。作者们推测，受访者对该提案的看法将由内群体-外群体偏见决定（即，相较于本族裔内群体，对族裔外群体进行更负面评价的倾向）。与该假设一致，受访者种族（研究1和研究2）以及移民种族（研究3）的差异与受访者对该问题的看法存在系统性关联。此外，内群体-外群体偏见的影响独立于构成受访者看法基础的、可感知的合理经济和法律考量因素。
