Seeking and avoiding intergroup contact: Future frontiers of research on building social integration (2018, background): “We noted how positive contact acts as a rewards system and fuels interest in further contact; unsuccessful, negative interactions similarly dampen interest in cross‐group exploration and, by feeding unhelpful expectations, compromise future engagement with diversity (Turner & Cameron, 2016).”
