Abstract
We sought to extract latent profiles of positive and negative intergroup emotions vis-à-vis contact with immigrants, and map these profiles onto COVID-19-related threats, political predispositions, Dark Triad traits, and prejudice among nationals from nine countries. Meaningful interactions with immigrants are significantly correlated with positive emotions and lower pandemic perceived threat.
