本文报告了对 81 份研究报告进行荟萃分析的结果，其中包含 122 项结构化计划的干预对照比较，以减少儿童和青少年的偏见或促进积极的群体间态度。总体而言，分析显示平均效应大小为 d = 0.30，表明干预效应为低至中等。从各种不同的方法来看，基于直接接触经验的干预措施以及旨在促进同理心和观点采择的社会认知培训计划显示出最强的效果。此外，效果根据项目参与者的社会地位（对大多数群体的影响较高）、目标外群体（对种族外群体与残疾人和老年外群体的影响较小）以及结果评估的类型（对认知与群体间态度的情感和行为测量的影响较高）而有所不同。讨论考虑了一些局限性，包括缺乏实施和后续研究以及促进群体间关系的未来研究方向。 (C) 2013 Elsevier Inc. 保留所有权利。
This article reports the results of a meta-analysis of 81 research reports containing 122 intervention-control comparisons of structured programs to reduce prejudice or promote positive intergroup attitudes in children and adolescents. Overall, the analysis revealed a mean effect size of d = 0.30, indicating low to moderate intervention effects. From the great variety of different approaches, interventions based on direct contact experiences along with social-cognitive training programs designed to promote empathy and perspective taking showed the strongest effect sizes. In addition, effects varied according to the program participant's social status (higher effects for majority groups), the target out-group (lower effect sizes for ethnic vs. disabled and aged out-groups), and the type of outcome assessment (higher effects for cognitive vs. affective and behavioral measures of intergroup attitudes). The discussion considers several limitations including the lack of implementation and follow-up research as well as future direction of research on promoting intergroup relations.
