According to Al Ramiah and Hewstone's (2013) and Tropp and Barlow's (2018) studies on desegregation, prolonged personal contact between different groups can lead to decreased perceived threats, which means that the two groups are less likely to view each other as a threat or source of harm. Thus, the best choice in this scenario is D, decreased perceived threats. The other options- increased anxiety, trend toward dehumanizing others, and decreased empathy- are not supported by research on desegregation.
