Pettigrew and Meertens found that respondents who scored high on a "blatant prejudice" scale - which measures more overt and hostile forms of prejudice - were most likely to advocate for the expulsion of immigrants and restrictions on their civil rights. This suggests that explicit expressions of prejudice are more strongly associated with discriminatory attitudes and behaviors than more subtle forms of prejudice.
