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

The research reveals the complex dynamics of intergroup context, particularly with the presence of extreme outgroups in comparison to moderate outgroups. Results supported the hypothesis that the presence of an extreme outgroup might pull perceivers’ perceptions more negative, possibly because it reminds them of the intergroup comparison process. In addition, results supported the hypothesis of lower perceptions of warmth than competence for relevant outgroups. The work has implications for many social and political situations where individuals may change their opinions of groups in a similar manner based on the presence of extreme outgroups in comparison to relevant and moderate outgroups.
