最近的研究强调，群体间的接触可能会在无意中破坏社会变革。然而，相对而言，很少有工作将接触的经历与非接触群体的社会变革动机联系起来。我们发展的假设，群体间接触的数量和社会变革的动机之间的关联取决于遭遇的内容。具体来说，优先考虑群体之间差异（而不是共性）的群体间接触可以预测，在社会变革的群体成员之间，有更大的动机。我们的研究结果表明，与文献的联系内容的偏好一致，一个组间的互动，侧重于差异预测更大的动机，社会变革，但只有当这种互动是重复的积极接触经验的一部分。我们讨论了研究结果的理论和实践意义。
Recent research highlighted that intergroup contact can inadvertently undermine social change. However, relatively little work had linked experiences of contact to motivation for social change among advantaged groups. We develop the hypothesis that the association between amount of intergroup contact and motivation for social change depends on the content of the encounter. Specifically, intergroup contact that prioritizes differences between groups (over commonalities) can predict greater motivation for social change among members of advantaged groups. Our findings reveal, consistent with the literature on preferences for the content of contact, that an intergroup interaction that is focused on differences predicts greater motivation for social change, but only if such interaction is part of repeated positive contact experiences. We discuss theoretical and practical implications of findings.
