本研究探讨了加拿大人如何感知与美国人的群体间接触的质量与他们对不同反恐政策的支持之间的关系，考虑到共同内部群体身份模型中规定的群体间表征的潜在调解作用。加拿大学生(n=360)完成了问卷调查，评估了他们对与美国人的群体间接触的质量、群体代表以及对与反恐战争有关的各种政策的反应的看法。具体地说，我们测试了一个模型，沿着接触假说指定的维度，群体间接触质量的感知如何预测两个群体(加拿大人和美国人)的不同表征，然后这些不同表征如何预测对反恐政策的反应。结构方程模型分析支持预测，揭示了群体表征对政策观点的关键作用。(C)2007 Elsevier Inc.保留所有权利。
The present research explored the relationship between how Canadians perceived the quality of intergroup contact with Americans and their support for different antiterrorism policies, considering the potential mediating role of intergroup representations specified in the Common Ingroup, Identity Model. Canadian students (n = 360) completed questionnaires that assessed their perceptions of the quality of intergroup contact with Americans, group representations, and reactions to various policies tied to the war against terror. Specifically, we tested a model of how perceptions of the quality of intergroup contact, along the dimensions specified by the Contact Hypothesis, predict different representations of the two groups (Canadians and Americans), and then how these different representations predict reactions to antiterrorist policies. Structural equation modeling analysis supported the predictions, revealing the pivotal role of group representations for policy views. (c) 2007 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
