关于按种族宗教划分的学校之间的关系及其对社会凝聚力的影响的辩论仍在继续。反对单独学校存在的一个论点是，它们限制了来自不同群体的儿童相互接触的机会，助长了群体间的猜疑和宗派主义。使用组间接触理论，我们研究的影响外群体的态度，参加混合和单独的小学后，在北方爱尔兰的学生。通过对3 500多名学生的调查收集了数据，分析表明，无论学校类型如何，学校群体间接触与对族裔宗教外群体的更积极取向密切相关。这些研究结果的政策含义进行了讨论。
Debate continues about the relationship between schools divided on ethno-religious lines and their implications for social cohesion. One argument against the existence of separate schools is that they limit opportunities for children from different groups to engage with each other, promoting intergroup suspicion and sectarianism. Using intergroup contact theory we examine the impact on outgroup attitudes of pupils attending mixed and separate post-primary schools in Northern Ireland. Data were collected through a survey of more than 3,500 pupils and analyses show that, irrespective of school type, intergroup contact at school is strongly associated with more positive orientations to the ethno-religious outgroup. The policy implications of these findings are discussed.
