Predisposed to prejudice but responsive to intergroup contact? Testing the unique benefits of intergroup contact across different types of individual differences
Recent research demonstrates that intergroup contact effectively reduces prejudice even among prejudice-prone persons.

Problematically, person variables are typ...

Recent research has demonstrated that imagining intergroup contact can be sufficient to reduce explicit prejudice directed towards out-groups. In this research, we examined the impact of contact-related mental imagery on implicit prejudice as measured by the implicit association test. We found that, relative to a control condition, young participants who imagined talking to an elderly stranger ...

Across seven large-scale surveys (five cross-sectional and two longitudinal), using multilevel analyses, we ...

Yet research finds that the positive effects of cross-group f...
