接触假说的经典研究集中在群体间接触的前因(接触发生的条件)和结果(主要是偏见的减少)之间的直接关系。最近的工作已经采取了更广泛的接触过程和影响的看法。我们回顾了过去20年来的主要发展,确定了不同形式的接触,调解和缓和接触的影响的因素,以及接触的性质和时间阶段以及不同的结果。然后,我们确定了几个研究方向,以解决紧迫的理论和实践问题。这些问题涉及:(a)群体进程和群体间关系,(B)在多重分类背景下的群体间接触,(c)结构和个人层面的进程,(d)更广泛的个人层面的结果(例如,(e)对社会变革的影响。接触理论和研究提供了一个全面的概念基础,与一系列强大的实证技术,为重要的新进展和实际应用,改善群体间的关系,并产生更公平的结果跨群体。
Classic research on the contact hypothesis focused on the direct relationship between the antecedents (conditions under which contact occurs) and the outcomes (primarily, the reduction of prejudice) of intergroup contact. Recent work has taken a broader view of contact processes and effects. We review key developments over the past 20 years, identifying different forms of contact, factors that mediate and moderate the effects of contact, and both the nature and temporal stage and the varied outcomes of contact. We then identify several research directions to address pressing theoretical and practical issues. These issues concern (a) group processes and intergroup relations, (b) intergroup contact in the context of multiple categorization, (c) structural- and individual-level processes, (d) a broader range of individual-level outcomes (e.g., health), and (e) impact on social change. Contact theory and research provides a comprehensive conceptual foundation, allied to a range of powerful empirical techniques, for important new advances and practical applications for improving intergroup relations and producing more equitable outcomes across groups.
