  2. Contact hypothesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contact_hypothesis

    Secondly, intergroup contact is believed to reduce the fear and anxiety people have when interacting with the outgroup, which in turn reduces their negative evaluations of the outgroup. [19] Thirdly, intergroup contact is hypothesised to increase people's ability to take the perspective of the outgroup and empathize with their concerns. [20]

  3. Imagined contact hypothesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imagined_contact_hypothesis

    The imagined contact hypothesis is an extension of the contact hypothesis, a theoretical proposition centred on the psychology of prejudice and prejudice reduction. It was originally developed by Richard J. Crisp and Rhiannon N. Turner and proposes that the mental simulation, or imagining, of a positive social interaction with an outgroup member can lead to increased positive attitudes ...

  4. Parasocial contact hypothesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parasocial_contact_hypothesis

    The Contact Hypothesis has been supported by decades of research. Thomas Pettigrew and Linda Tropp’s meta-analysis [4] of over 700 independent samples confirms the contact hypothesis for a variety of minority groups and conservatively estimates the average correlation between contact and prejudice as -.215 (N > 250,000, p < .0001).

  5. Intergroup relations - Wikipedia

    For example, Lee Ross applied his research on correspondence biases and attributional errors in his work on the conflict resolution process in Northern Ireland during The Troubles. [18] Other researchers have focused on positive elements of intergroup behavior, including helping, cooperation, and altruism between groups.

  6. Intergroup anxiety - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intergroup_anxiety

    The subsequent lack of positive contact results in negative expectancies of upcoming intergroup contact, leading to anxiety, heightened hostility, and a desire to avoid this contact. This cycle limits the possibility for positive contact. [2] Another factor that predicts intergroup anxiety is a strong level of identification with one's ingroup.

  7. Group dynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Group_dynamics

    In some cases, intergroup dynamics is prosocial, positive, and beneficial (for example, when multiple research teams work together to accomplish a task or goal). In other cases, intergroup dynamics can create conflict.

  8. Common ingroup identity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_ingroup_identity

    A large body of research in meaningful 'real-world' contexts lends support to the applicability of the common ingroup identity model. In a diverse range of intergroup situations, it has been demonstrated that the conditions specified by the contact hypothesis (i.e. cooperative interaction) reduce intergroup bias through transforming members' representations of separate group memberships to one ...

  9. Approaches to prejudice reduction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Approaches_to_Prejudice...

    Intergroup approaches to prejudice reduction have been studied a great deal in laboratory settings, as well as outside of the laboratory, particularly in schools. [1] Many intergroup prejudice reduction approaches are grounded in one of 3 main theoretical perspectives: interdependence, [2] intergroup contact, [3] and social identity. [4]
