Abstract

The present study includes an online survey that measured participants’ different types of contact (e.g., personal, educational, and general-media) and individual levels of anti-transgender prejudice (i.e.., Genderism and Transphobia Scale; Hill & Willoughby, 2005). Results suggest that each type of contact is associated with significantly lower levels of prejudice.
