Randomized trial examines how interdependence mindset impacts support for immigrants, suggesting beneficial communication strategies.

Key Points

  • The aim is to explore how an interdependence mindset can empower help towards immigrants in diverse communities.
  • Conducted two experiments with a total of 801 participants in the United States.
  • Investigated the relationship between interdependence mindset and types of helping behaviors.
  • Examined the effects of system threat on helping behaviors in real-world education policy contexts.
  • Consistency found where perceiving immigrants positively correlated with greater autonomy-oriented helping.
  • In the presence of system threat, allocations to the education fund were lower in the threat condition compared to control, within the independence mindset.
  • Interdependence mindset maintained allocations across threat conditions, suggesting resilience against negative narratives.
