What is it about?
In this paper we investigate how perceived global economic threats can influence observers' perception of minority groups within their local society. More specifically, we looked at whether different framings of the economic crisis (focusing on more personal versus more contextual attributes), have different outcomes for how minority groups in the Netherlands are perceived.
