Contact researchers have largely overlooked the potential for negative intergroup contact to increase prejudice. In Study 1, we tested interaction between quantity and valence on prejudice toward Black Australians ( n = 1,476), Muslim 173), asylum seekers 293). all cases, association was moderated by its valence, with emerging as a stronger more consistent predictor than positive contact. 2, White Americans 441) indicated how much they had separate measures. Although both of predicted racism...
Recent evidence suggests that both direct and indirect friendship with outgroup members (knowledge of ingroup members' members) can reduce prejudice toward the outgroup. Two surveys cross-community relationships in Northern Ireland, using a student sample (N = 341) representative general population 735), tested whether (a) friendships had generalized effects on perceived variability (b) reduced anxiety about future encounters mediated such relationships. Structural equation modeling...
Drawing from the intergroup contact model and self-categorization theory, authors advanced novel hypothesis of a valence-salience effect, whereby negative causes higher category salience than positive contact. As predicted, in laboratory experiment interethnic contact, White Australians ( N = 49) made more frequent earlier reference to ethnicity when describing their ethnic partner if she had displayed (vs. positive, neutral) nonverbal behavior. In two-wave experimental study retrieved...
Abstract The present research tested the idea that ecological impact of intergroup contact on outgroup attitudes can be fully understood only when relative frequency and influence positive negative are considered simultaneously. Participants from five European countries (Austria, Czech Republic, Germany, Poland Slovakia; N = 1276) freely described their experiences with people neighboring nationalities then reported attitudes. Contact descriptions were coded for versus valence person...
Abstract The Russian invasion of Ukraine on February 24, 2022, has had devastating effects the Ukrainian population and global economy, environment, political order. However, little is known about psychological states surrounding outbreak war, particularly mental well-being individuals outside Ukraine. Here, we present a longitudinal experience-sampling study convenience sample from 17 European countries (total participants = 1,341, total assessments 44,894, with >100 5) that allows us to...
Two studies tested the intergroup contact hypothesis in context of grandparent-grandchild relationship. The suggests that with an out-group member has more influence on attitudes toward when group memberships are salient. In Study 1, predicted link was found but only for grandparents whom grandchild had frequent contact. second study examined most grandparent relationship and replicated effect. This also investigated role various mediators between quality attitudes, as well perceived...
Abstract Negative (vs positive) intergroup contact may have a disproportionately large impact on relations because of valence‐salience effects, whereby negative causes higher category salience (Paolini, Harwood, & Rubin, 2010). One correlational and three experimental studies in conflict areas (Northern Ireland, Arizona's border area, Cyprus; Ns = 405, 83, 76, 91) tested the moderation these effects by individuals' histories outgroup contact. Consistent with perceived fit principle...
While consensus exists about the critical role of learners’ motivation in second language acquisition, controlled investigations effects teachers’ motivational strategies are limited. The research reported here used a quasi‐experimental design to assess by Saudi English as foreign (EFL) teachers ( N = 14) on EFL 296) self‐reported learning motivation. experimental treatment involved class‐time exposure 10 preselected over an 8‐week period; control group received traditional teaching methods....
An experiment examined the effects of imagining contact with an illegal immigrant on attitudes towards immigrants and subsequent that attitude change feelings about other groups (secondary transfer). Compared to a condition in which participants imagined negative immigrant, who positive reported more concerning immigrants. Using bootstrapped mediation models, were shown generalize independently ranked as similar immigrants, but not dissimilar groups. This generalization gradient effect was...
Abstract Over 60 years of research and comprehensive reviews now support Gordon Allport's contact hypothesis that face‐to‐face interactions between members opposing groups should be promoted to lessen prejudice improve intergroup relations. Society however does not yet enjoy the full prejudice‐reducing benefits because opportunities for are often taken up, segregation persists in face diversity. In this article, we review recent investigations on social psychology individuals' seeking...
Abstract Compared to the impressive amount of research on consequences intergroup contact, relatively little work has been devoted predictors contact. Although opportunities for contact are constantly growing in modern diverse societies, these not necessarily exploited. In present review article, we describe current and drivers seeking a micro‐, meso‐, macro‐level. We provide an overview predictors, while focusing recent that is especially relevant designing interventions planning social...
Abstract This article presents the 2021 JSI special issue on intergroup contact, which we designed to offer a fresh outlook rapidly expanding literature antecedents, dynamics, and consequences of interactions between members opposing groups in society—or contact. We start by discussing results bibliographic search contact research 1937 organizing our analysis around two distinct phases this research, as they are demarcated volume quality Pettigrew Tropp's landmark meta‐analysis 2006. then...
Direct friendship with outgroup members and the knowledge of ingroup—outgroup friendships (indirect friendship) can both reduce prejudice. Three correlational studies (N s = 338, 141, 798) tested moderating role affective—cognitive bases prejudice, assessing whether size friendship— prejudice relationship depends on extent to which emotions (vs. thoughts) are relevant prejudiced attitudes at stake. In Study 1, direct effects were larger outgroups generating stronger affective responding than...
Abstract The present study investigated the mediating role of sense belonging in relations between workplace sexism and (a) mental health (b) job satisfaction. Participants were 190 women from a large Australian trade union that represented mainly male‐dominated jobs. They completed an online survey contained measures sexism, industry, health, As predicted, mediated associations organizational both In addition, association interpersonal health. These results are discussed relation to...
Being a parent is an important part of one's identity and role. Previous research outlines many challenges associated with parenting by people severe mental illness. However, there limited describing experiences mothers fathers who have psychosis.The second Australian national survey psychosis recruited 1825 living symptoms of, or diagnosis psychosis. The was conducted through face-to-face interviews included key clinical demographic information, as well specific information.Over half all...
While “knowledge learning” about the outgroup has been regarded as one of key mechanisms for contact–prejudice relation since contact hypothesis’ first inception (Pettigrew & Tropp, 2008), “learning,” more broadly, rarely used an explanatory framework to investigate consequences intergroup contact. In this article, we lay foundation a learning model anxiety and stress in ingroup–outgroup interactions. We distinguish between episodic chronic responses recommend investigations on...
Sixty years of research on intergroup contact demonstrates that positive interactions across group boundaries can improve attitudes and contribute to forging tolerant, integrated, multicultural societies. However, fully realize the benefits growing diversity around globe, individuals need exploit opportunities for are available them. Yet, it is relatively unknown why people might deliberately engage in cross‐group how individuals’ expectations motives prepare them develop interpersonal...
