Allport’s contact conditions boost prejudice reduction more for nonracial than racial intergroup contexts

Evidence

Structured programs developed in line with Allport’s conditions enhanced contact–prejudice effects for both subsets of cases, though the effects tended to be stronger among the nonracial and nonethnic samples, QB(1) 19.67, p .001, than among the racial and ethnic samples, QB(1) 2.62, p .11. — Thomas F.
