Abstract
This chapter draws four overall conclusions from this project. First, the intergroup interactions between Finns, refugees, and immigrants represent cultural fusion in action. In particular, the results of this support the assertions of cultural fusion theory. Second, this research reveals new theoretical and methodological lines of inquiry for integrated threat theory. Third, the multiple group comparison approach of this project offers a more comprehensive understanding of how prejudice is manifested. Finally, the results of this study show the impact and importance of social media on migration.
