Rearranging the desk chairs: A large randomized field experiment on the effects of close contact on interethnic relations
Elwert, Felix; Keller, Tamás; Kotsadam, Andreas - 2020
Contact theory and conflict theory offer sharply conflicting predictions about the effects of interethnic exposure on prejudice. Contact theory predicts that close collaborative contact under conditions of equal status causes a reduction in interethnic prejudice. By contrast, conflict theory...
