先前的研究表明，基于信息的群体间关系项目只取得了中等程度的成功（McGregor, 1993; Stephan & Stephan, 1984）。为了探索一种提高改变对外群体态度的方法的有效性的方法，目前的研究检查了向美籍黑人学生提供关于非裔美国人受到歧视的日常事件的信息的效果，这些信息有或没有引起移情的指示。结果表明，阅读对非洲裔美国人的歧视或诱导同理心可以减少对非洲裔美国人与盎格莱裔美国人态度的群体内群体外偏见。这些发现对共情对群体间关系的影响模型的意义进行了讨论。
Prior research indicates that information-based intergroup relations programs are only moderately successful (McGregor, 1993; Stephan & Stephan, 1984). In order to explore a means of increasing the effectiveness of techniques used to change attitudes toward outgroups, the current study examined the effects of giving Angle American students information about everyday incidents of discrimination against African Americans either with or without empathy-inducing instructions. The results indicate that reading about discrimination against African Americans or inducing empathy reduces in-group-out-group bias in attitudes toward African Americans vs. Angle Americans. The implications of these findings for models of the effects of empathy on intergroup relations are discussed.
