Funded Activity Summary

Negative intergroup contact has a stronger impact on intergroup attitudes than does positive contact: explaining racism and attitudinal homeostasis. The present research aims to demonstrate that the impact of positive intergroup contact can be 'trumped' by negative intergroup contact. This project will help to explain the continued presence of racism in Australia and across the world, and elucidate the observed pattern that as ethnic diversity increases in an area, so does prejudice.
