This meta-analysis examines propositions derived from Intergroup Threat Theory (ITT; Stephan, Ybarra, & Morrison, 2009) regarding the role of symbolic and realistic threats on the relationship between contact and prejudice. Specifically, analyses examined whether threat has an indirect effect on the contact–prejudice relationship (aka mediation). Thirty-nine papers comprising 54 samples and over 25,000 participants provided 347 effects for analysis. Supporting ITT predictions, results clearly demonstrated the presence of an indirect effect. Tests of several moderators, including type of contact measure, type of threat, dimension of prejudice, and target of bias suggest that indirect effects are largely consistent across each domain of comparison. Findings are consistent with ITT’s propositions that contact influences threat and feelings of threat lead to prejudice.

威胁对接触偏见关系的间接影响

这项荟萃分析考察了群体间威胁理论（ITT； Stephan，Ybarra和Morrison，2009年）中的命题，这些命题涉及象征性威胁和现实威胁在联系与偏见之间的关系。具体而言，分析检查了威胁是否对接触偏见关系（即调解）产生间接影响。三十九篇论文包括54个样本，超过25,000名参与者提供了347种分析效果。支持ITT预测的结果清楚地表明存在间接影响。对几种主持人的测试，包括接触方式的类型，威胁的类型，偏见的程度以及偏见的目标，表明间接影响在各个比较领域都基本一致。
