The effects of indirect intergroup contact on willingness to engage in direct contact with former adversary

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

It is well established that direct intergroup contact reduces prejudice. In post-conflict societies, however, direct intergroup contact is missing due to the lack of willingness to engage in contact with former adversaries. Thus it is important to determine ways how to make former adversaries interact. Past research found that indirect forms of intergroup contact – such as extended (i.e., knowing that an ingroup member has a close relationship with an outgroup member) or mass-mediated(i.e., portrayals of outgroup members in the mass-media) – can have similar effects to direct intergroup contact. In an Albanian sample (N = 232) in Kosovo, we examined the effects of both positive and negative extended and mass-mediated intergroup contact on willingness to engage in direct intergroup contact with Serbs. We tested the mediating role of trust and empathy toward Serbs. Negative extended contact – negative experiences with Serbs shared by participants’ family –was negatively linked to participants’ willingness to engage in intergroup contact with Serbs. Positive mass-mediated contact – positive information about Serbs from the TV and newspaper – was positively linked to participants’ willingness to engage in direct contact with Serbs through empathy toward Serbs. We discuss the implications of the effects of mass-mediated intergroup contact for interventions aiming at improving intergroup relations in post-conflict societies.
