Intergroup contact effects differ by group so interventions need tailoring per relationship.

Evidence

In line with this view, emerging intergroup research has begun to examine the ways in which people show different emotional reactions to outgroups, depending on their perceptions of those groups and histories of relations with them (see Mackie & Smith, 2002 and Smith & Mackie, ch. 22 this volume, for recent reviews). These perspectives suggest a need to extend Allport’s approach beyond a general conceptualization of contact’s effects, to examine distinct points of concern and responses to intergroup contact across different intergroup relationships. As such, future contact research should consider the ways in which contact situations might best be tailored to accommodate the diverse concerns that are likely to be relevant when different groups come into contact. — John F. Dovidio, Peter Glick, Laurie A. Rudman, On the Nature of Prejudice, 1717
