60年来对群体间接触的研究表明，跨越群体界限的积极互动可以改善群体间的态度，并有助于建立宽容、融合和多元文化的社会。然而，为了充分实现地球仪日益多样化的好处，个人需要利用他们可以利用的群体间接触的机会。然而，人们为什么会故意参与跨群体的互动，以及个人的期望和动机如何使他们与外群体成员发展积极的人际关系，这是相对未知的。在本文中，我们开始解决这些研究差距。我们讨论了自膨胀模型，并提出了新的证据，这是与这个模型相一致。两项研究，一个是在跨文化环境中的相关性研究，另一个是实验性研究，表明了高自我扩展期望和动机在促进兴趣和产生更多更高质量的跨群体互动方面的价值。我们讨论了这些研究结果对政策和干预的影响。
Sixty years of research on intergroup contact demonstrates that positive interactions across group boundaries can improve intergroup attitudes and can contribute to forging tolerant, integrated, multicultural societies. However, to fully realize the benefits of growing diversity around the globe, individuals need to exploit opportunities for intergroup contact that are available to them. Yet, it is relatively unknown why people might deliberately engage in cross-group interactions and how individuals’ expectations and motives prepare them to develop positive interpersonal relationships with outgroup members. In this article, we begin to address these research gaps. We discuss the self-expansion model and present new evidence that is consistent with this model. Two studies, one correlational in a cross-cultural setting and the other experimental, show the value of high self-expansion expectancies and motivation in promoting interest in and producing more and higher quality interactions across group boundaries. We discuss implications of these findings for policy and intervention.
