Integrating multiple threat types yields stronger models than testing each type separately.

Evidence

Integrative frameworks, such as W. G. Stephan and Stephan’s (2000) ITT seem to be advantageous relative to examining each threat type separately because interrelationships between the threat types can be examined. This suggests that future research should consider integrating as many threats as possible. — Blake M. Riek, Eric W. Mania, and Samuel L. Gaertner, Intergroup Threat and Outgroup Attitudes, 125
