Abstract in brief
- The meta-analysis, which reviewed data from 515 studies, shows that intergroup contact generally reduces prejudice across different groups, settings, and target populations.
- The findings are robust, not due to bias, and even larger effects are seen in more rigorous studies; contact effects also tend to apply broadly across entire outgroups.
- The study highlights that optimal contact conditions, when combined, enhance prejudice reduction, but these conditions are not strictly necessary, suggesting future research should explore negative factors and develop a more comprehensive theory.]

@educatedandfree @jonathanbfine Regarding reproducible social science findings, my favorite example is this paper. https://t.co/c8k6BoKyNi 3/4
I will audit all references next week and share my findings as a standalone post. Paper: ideas.wharton.upenn.edu/wp-content/u... First 2 screenshots are from the book, the rest are from the paper, they continue in the next post but you'll get the idea without having to read them all:
Just including more screenshots from the paper to drive home the point:
Sure! The paper is called "A Meta-Analytic Test of Intergroup Contact Theory" (links & screenshots at the end), it's the reference #34 in chapter 6 of the book. In very short terms, intergroup contact theory proposes that contact between diverse groups lowers their prejudice against each other.
