I love how papers like this--by taking a multi-level approach, can help us to understand how immigrant influx at one level (national) boosts prejudice, but at another (local) does the opposite. (PS go #intergroupcontact!)

Worth getting your head around this. These scholars are really onto something

Led by the brilliant @shelleymckeown.bsky.social we present a Perspectives article on why and how #IntergroupContact can be a valuable tool in educational settings. We hope this can facilitate a fruitful dialogue between researchers and teachers bpspsychub.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdf/10.1...

Is there a link between positive intergroup contact and meta-attitude accuracy? Yes - for both majority and minority groups! Have a look at our new paper led by the brilliant Ipek Guvensoy 🙂 doi.org/10.1177/1368... #PrejudiceResearch #IntergroupContact

“Counter-stereotypical AI should not go so far as to suppress dissenting or traditional opinions or coerce uniformity of thought.” (Hermann, 2025)

AI offers promising potential. Its strengths—repeated, direct, unavoidable (embedded in daily life), private, non-judgmental, collaborative, need-satisfying (designed to support)—could foster more inclusive, sustained, and constructive intergroup dialogue (Hermann, 2025).

I also like his phrasing here, re "great lesson" we've learned from #IntergroupContact

They're not the only group to show this.

But the message seems to be slow to get out there.

People, laypeople & researchers alike, often want simple answers to questions like: does #intergroupcontact "work"?

Well, it does. But like most of psychology, it's more nuanced than a yes/no answer.
