Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Multiple contacts allow for individuals to get to know each other on a deeper level and break down stereotypes and biases. Mutual interdependence creates a sense of shared goals and reduces the emphasis on group membership. Equal status removes power differentials and promotes equality. Together, these factors create a positive contact situation that reduces prejudice. The other choices include factors that are not supported by research or may even exacerbate prejudice (e.g. biased attenuation, affective suppression, hierarchical status).
