An internet-related survey distributed to Norwegian students explored predictors of fear-related xenophobia toward immigrants. Specifically, this study examined a new social construct called "entitativity" (i.e., the extent to which out-group members are perceived as bonded together in a cohesive or organized unit), as well as frequency of informal social contact and valence of a recent encounter in relation to certain xenophobic attitudes. Correlational and multiple regression analyses indicated that perceived out-group entitativity was a moderate predictor of fear-related xenophobia. Voluntary informal contact was a weak predictor of fear-related xenophobia, whereas negative evaluation of an encounter in the recent past was a strong predictor. Further analysis indicated that the effect of entitativity on xenophobia was strongest when informal social contact was low. Moreover, analysis indicated that the effect of valenced contact was partly mediated through perception of entitativity.
一项面向挪威学生开展的与互联网相关的调查，探究了对移民的恐惧相关仇外心理的预测因素。具体而言，本研究考察了一种名为“实体性”的新社会结构（即外群体成员被视为在一个有凝聚力或有组织的单元中凝聚在一起的程度），以及非正式社交接触的频率和近期一次接触的效价与某些仇外态度的关系。相关性分析和多元回归分析表明，感知到的外群体实体性是恐惧相关仇外心理的一个中等程度的预测因素。自愿的非正式接触是恐惧相关仇外心理的一个较弱预测因素，而近期对一次接触的负面评价则是一个较强的预测因素。进一步分析表明，当非正式社交接触较少时，实体性对外仇外心理的影响最强。此外，分析表明，有正负效价的接触的影响部分是通过对实体性的感知来介导的。
