Drawing on established social psychological theories of prejudice, the project aims to combat racism by ascertaining how it is maintained within a multicultural society and how its damaging consequences can be diminished. Racism is a pervasive problem and its harmful effects cost Australia an estimated $46.4 billion each year. The project plans to investigate how small negative interracial interactions can perpetuate racial hostility and segregation; how negative interracial interactions might lead to extremist identification and sympathies; and how prejudice and discrimination develops between different minority groups. It also plans to investigate how positive interactions with majority groups (eg White Australians) might promote wellbeing and healthy behaviours in minority group members. Project outcomes may lead to solutions that promote social cohesion in Australia.

该项目利用关于偏见的既定社会心理学理论，旨在通过查明种族主义如何在多元文化社会中得以维持以及如何减少其破坏性后果来打击种族主义。种族主义是一个普遍存在的问题，其有害影响使澳大利亚每年损失约464亿澳元。该项目计划调查种族间微小的负面互动如何能够使种族敌视和隔离永久化;种族间负面互动如何可能导致极端主义者的认同和同情;以及不同少数群体之间的偏见和歧视如何发展。它还计划调查与多数群体（如白色澳大利亚人）的积极互动如何可能促进少数群体成员的福祉和健康行为。项目成果可能导致促进澳大利亚社会凝聚力的解决方案。
