AuthorTitleTypeYear #ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ 8 Publications Applied Filters: First Letter Of Title: U Reset Unfair Discrimination: teaching the principles to children of primary school age Geoffrey Short, Bruce Carrington 1991 This paper describes an initiative to promote social justice in two groups of primary aged children. The initiative was concerned with the extent to which first‐ and third‐year juniors can apply principles of unfair discrimination to issues of gender, ‘race’ and social class having been taught the principles in contexts unrelated to structural… Unwilling, but not unaffected—Imagined contact effects for authoritarians and social dominators Frank Asbrock, Lisa Gutenbrunner, Ulrich Wagner 2013 According to a dual process model perspective, intergroup contact should be particularly effective for people high in right-wing authoritarianism (RWA), but not for those high in social dominance orientation (SDO), because of different underlying motivational goals. In the present studies, we tested the hypothesis that imagined contact, that is… Use of Pictures of Multiethnic Interaction to Change Attitudes of White Elementary School Students toward Blacks John Litcher, David Johnson, Frank Ryan 1973 Used several pictures portraying varied mixed racial groups of children in either a middle-class suburban setting or a lower-class intercity setting as part of a 1-mo curriculum unit. 128 white 2nd graders in a midwestern metropolitan area were Ss. Results of 5 attitude and stereotype measures (e.g., Clark Doll Test, and L. Horowitz and R. E… Using electronic contact to reduce homonegative attitudes, emotions, and behavioral intentions among heterosexual women and men: A contemporary extension of the contact hypothesis Fiona White, Stefano Verrelli, Rachel Maunder, Angus Kervinen 2019 The current study experimentally examined the potential for a contemporary extension of the contact hypothesis, known as electronic contact, or E-contact, to reduce sexual prejudice, intergroup anxiety, and avoidant behavioral intentions among heterosexuals. It also extended the sexual minority contact literature by examining the role of… Using extended contact to improve physiological responses and behavior toward people with schizophrenia Keon West, Rhiannon Turner 2014 Extended contact has been shown to improve explicit and implicit attitudes toward a number of outgroups, but not yet toward people with mental health conditions. Using people with schizophrenia as the target group, this experiment is the first to demonstrate that extended contact can reduce explicit prejudice, buffer stress responses to future… Using fiction to improve intergroup attitudes: Testing indirect contact interventions in a school context Simona Oľhová, Barbara Lášticová 2022 The aim of the study was to evaluate the efficacy of an intervention using indirect intergroup contact for improving intergroup attitudes in schools, in particular anti-Roma prejudice. Vicarious contact—a form of indirect intergroup contact—can be experienced through fictional book characters, who can serve as positive role models in terms of… Using intercultural videos of direct contact to implement vicarious contact: A school-based intervention that improves intergroup attitudes Loris Vezzali, Gian Di Bernardo, Sofia Stathi, Emilio Visintin, Miles Hewstone 2019 We aimed to create an engaging and dynamic intervention for schools that uses videos of direct school peer contact to implement a vicarious contact intervention. Participants were ethnic majority (Italian) and minority (immigrant) high school students (N = 485; age ranging from 14 to 22 years old, Mage = 17.24 years), who were asked to watch… Using online intergroup interactions to reduce negative attitudes toward lesbians and gay men Sofia Vacas 2016 Extending previous research on the contact theory (Allport, 1954) and its effect on reducing negative attitudes toward lesbians and gay men (Grack and Richman, 1996; Graham, Frame, & Kenworthy, 2014), this study investigated online intergroup contact between homosexuals and heterosexuals to reduce negative attitudes toward lesbians and gay…
