本研究通过“移情”、“文化开放性”、“群内偏见”和“群间焦虑”四个中介变量，检验群间接触对青少年旁观者干预意向的间接影响。年龄在11-13岁的英国青少年（N = 855）完成了组间（种族间）接触和确定的间接变量的测量。通过向参与者提供群体间（移民）辱骂场景来衡量预期的旁观者行为。参与者对他们表现得自信的程度进行评分。研究结果扩展了以前的组间接触的研究表明，通过移情，文化开放性和组内偏见（但不是通过组间焦虑），自信的旁观者意图的组间接触显着的间接影响。未来偏见减少干预的理论意义和实际建议进行了讨论。
The present research tests the indirect effects of intergroup contact on adolescents' bystander intervention intentions via four potential mediators: "empathy," "cultural openness," "in-group bias," and "intergroup anxiety." British adolescents (N = 855), aged 11-13 years, completed measures of intergroup (interethnic) contact and the identified indirect variables. Intended bystander behavior was measured by presenting participants with an intergroup (immigrant) name-calling scenario. Participants rated the extent to which they would behave assertively. The findings extend previous intergroup contact research by showing a significant indirect effect of intergroup contact on assertive bystander intentions via empathy, cultural openness and in-group bias (but not via intergroup anxiety). Theoretical implications and practical suggestions for future prejudice-reduction interventions are discussed.
