Short Description of your Research or Creative Project (700 characters or less)

We examined the relationship between intergroup contact and intergroup threat on measures of discrimination against Hispanic/Latino immigrants in the United States. Specifically, we are interested in if contact and threat can predict perceptions of immigrants as "American". Our results found that negative contact experiences with immigrants predict perceiving immigrants as threats and categorizing them as not American.
