Face-to-face contact has been found to be an effective way of reducing prejudice and increasing acceptance of marginalized groups. This is because it allows individuals to interact and communicate with others who may be different from them, leading to a realization of shared humanity and shared experiences. The other options, such as social-responsibility norm, mirror-image perceptions, and social responsibility do not directly involve personal interaction and communication, which is crucial for reducing prejudice.
