The contact hypothesis (Allport 1954) posits that in an environment of equality cooperation and normative support contact between members of distinct groups can reduce prejudice. Whilst considerable research supports this hypothesis how theory can be tested in the field remains relatively unexplored. In this innovative book Vezzali and Stathi discuss why relying solely on advancing theory without considering applied aspects integral to contact may limit the scope of contact theory and restrict our understanding of complex social phenomena. Exploring fascinating topics such as the role of contact in reducing implicit prejudice and fostering collective action applying indirect contact and promoting positive interactions among survivors of natural disasters Vezzali and Stathi explain how contact theory can be implemented and enhance the societal impact of intergroup contact research. Featuring extensive discussion on intergroup contact literature future directions and the necessity of applied research this book will be essential reading for both students and academics of social and behavioral psychology.\u003cbr\u003e\nTitle: Using Intergroup Contact To Fight Prejudice And Negative Attitudes Psychological Perspectives\u003cbr\u003e\nAuthor(s): Stathi Sofia\u003cbr\u003e\nPublisher: Taylor \u0026amp; Francis Inc\u003cbr\u003e\nBarcode: 9780815353485\u003cbr\u003e\nPages: 198 Pages, 15 Line Drawings, Black And White; 3 Halftones, Black And White; 18 Illustrations, Black\u003cbr\u003e\nPublication Date: 11\/13\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\nSeries: European Monographs in Social Psychology\u003cbr\u003e\nCategory: Groups \u0026amp; Group Theory","brand":"Stathi Sofia","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49598904336689,"sku":"IN-G-9780815353485","price":53.76,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0644\/6759\/9594\/files\/9780815353485.jpg?v=1724597674","url":"https:\/\/bookdelivered.com\/products\/9780815353485-using-intergroup-contact-to-fight-prejudice-and-negative-attitudes-psychological-perspectives","provider":"Book Delivered","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
