Stereotypes and identification precede threats, whose attitude effects run through emotions.

Evidence

Future research could also examine more integrative models that include multiple sources of threat. In the proposed model presented in Figure 1, stereotypes, ingroup identification, and distinctiveness threats are antecedents to realistic, symbolic, and group esteem threats. Furthermore, the relations between these threats with outgroup attitudes and intergroup behaviors are mediated by intergroup emotions. — Blake M. Riek, Eric W. Mania, and Samuel L. Gaertner, Intergroup Threat and Outgroup Attitudes, 149
