Cross-Group friendship and prejudice in five central European Countries: The Role of personality and situational factors

Original language description

This chapter combines the theoretical and methodological backgrounds of the psychology of intergroup relations and personality psychology to investigate the incidence of cross-group friendship among nationals of five countries, its association with prejudice, as well as mediators and moderators of the cross-group friendship – prejudice link. In five central European countries (Austria, Czechia, Germany, Poland, and Slovakia, N = 1276), the pattern of cross-group friendships reflected historical geo-political divisions: People from culturally and geographically proximal countries were more likely to be friends. Cross-group friendship was associated with less prejudice against nationals of the given country, although this link varied in strength across the five countries. In the overall sample, the perception of characteristics typical for the given nation (i.e., national stereotypes) mediated the link between cross-group friendship and prejudice. Cross-group friendship was associated with more positive perception of other nations – as more extraverted, more open to experience and generally good – and this more positive perception was associated with less prejudice. Individual differences (i.e., self-reported personality traits) moderated the link between cross-group friendship and prejudice in the largest Czech sample. At low levels of Openness to Experience, reporting outgroup friends was associated with significantly less prejudice than not reporting outgroup friends.n
