Pathways to Prejudice Reduction: Real-World Evidence across Contexts
How can we promote prejudice reduction? This symposium examines the extent to which intergroup contact, diversity training, and related processes shape engagement with, and attitudes toward, outgroups across diverse contexts. Evidence from field experiments, and from survey and observational studies in Ethiopia, Europe, and Israel will be presented and discussed.
