Participants were asked to estimate each group\u2019s net fiscal contribution in Denmark. These estimates were then compared to the actual net fiscal contributions for the 32 groups, taken from a report by the Danish Ministry of Finance. Stereotypes were found to be highly accurate, both at the aggregate level (<span class=\"html-italic\">r<\/span> = 0.81) and at the individual level (median <span class=\"html-italic\">r<\/span> = 0.62). Interestingly, participants over- rather than underestimated the net fiscal contributions of groups from countries with a higher percentage of Muslims. Indeed, this was true at both the aggregate and individual levels (<span class=\"html-italic\">r<\/span> = \u22120.25 and median <span class=\"html-italic\">r<\/span> = \u22120.49, respectively). Participants were also asked to say how many immigrants from each group should be admitted to Denmark. There was a very strong correlation between participants\u2019 aggregate immigration policy preferences and their estimates of the 32 groups\u2019 fiscal contributions (<span class=\"html-italic\">r<\/span> = 0.98), suggesting that their preferences partly reflect accurate stereotypes. Most of the analyses were pre-registered.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>We continue our research progress into non-woke social psychology!
