Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Research has shown that having close friends from different ethnic groups can lead to reduced prejudice towards these groups, as individuals may develop more positive attitudes and empathy towards out-group members. It can also lead to a reduction in stereotypes and increase in knowledge about different cultures, which in turn can reduce prejudice. The key factor here is that the friendships must be close and meaningful, as superficial relationships may not have the same effect. The other options (A,C,D) are not supported by research.
