Reducing intergroup bias through intergroup contact: Twenty years of progress and future directions (2017, background): “Thus, positive intergroup contact is often less effective at improving outgroup attitudes when it involves outgroup members perceived to be very atypical, rather than typical, of their group (e.g., Binder et al., 2009; for a review see Brown & Hewstone, 2005).”
E pluribus unum: Dual identity and minority group members' motivation to engage in contact, as well as social change (2011, neutral): “However, the intergroup orientations of disadvantaged-group (minority) members tend to be less influenced by prejudice-reduction interventions than those of advantaged-group (majority) members (Binder et al., 2009; Dixon, Tropp, Durrheim, & Tredoux, 2010; Tropp & Pettigrew, 2005).”
Cross-Group Friendships and Intergroup Attitudes (2011, background): “Once cross-group interactions begin to take place, positive contact experiences may alleviate initial anxieties (Binder et al., 2009; Page-Gould et al., 2008), which can fuel more positive attitudes toward outgroup members in general (Paolini et al.”
Toward a theory of transformative entrepreneuring: Poverty reduction and conflict resolution in Rwanda's entrepreneurial coffee sector (2013, background): “21 Leaning on Binder et al. (2009), we conceptualized outgroup prejudice as a perceived behavioral intention to relate to members of other groups.”
Silencing the Past (2010, background): “This finding is in line with other research on the effects of contact on prejudice reduction (Binder et al., 2009; Eller & Abrams, 2003).”
Right‐wing authoritarianism and social dominance orientation and the dimensions of generalized prejudice: A longitudinal test (2010, background): “There are only few additional longitudinal studies on prejudice, and most of them examine intergroup contact effects (Binder et al., 2009).”
Changing the ideological roots of prejudice: Longitudinal effects of ethnic intergroup contact on social dominance orientation (2014, background): “When measured separately, however, contact quality is typically the stronger predictor of the two (e.g., Binder et al., 2009; Eller & Abrams, 2003).”
The Dynamics of Acculturation: An Intergroup Perspective (2011, background): “more marked, at least for the minority children, with now over 75% of that group endorsing Integration (Brown et al., 2010). Further analysis revealed that older children (8–11 years) were slightly more pro-Integration than their younger peers (5–7 years) (Brown et al., 2010). This pattern of prefer”
Confidence in Contact: A New Perspective on Promoting Cross-Group Friendship Among Children and Adolescents (2016, positive): “Binder et al. (2009) found in a longitudinal field survey in Germany, Belgium, and England with ethnic minority and majority school students that while crossgroup friendship predicted more positive attitudes over time, positive outgroup attitudes also predicted quantity and quality of cross-group…”
Improving intergroup relations through direct, extended and other forms of indirect contact (2011, background): “Moreover, Gómez et al. found that the effects of direct contact on improving intergroup attitudes were weaker for minority-group than majoritygroup members (a typical finding; see, for example, Binder et al., 2009; Tropp & Pettigrew, 2005).”
Longitudinal effects of contact on intergroup relations: The role of majority and minority group membership and intergroup emotions (2010, background): “It should be noted that in some studies (e.g. Binder et al., 2009) not only quality, but also quantity of contact was not effective for minority group members.”
Intergroup contact and intergroup conflict. (2014, neutral): “Several impressive longitudinal studies have recently emerged; these studies illuminate contact processes and enhance our confidence in the value of contact as a social intervention (see Binder et al., 2009; Christ & Wagner, 2013; Swart, Hewstone, Christ, & Voci, 2011).”
Challenging the Stubborn Core of Opposition to Equality: Racial Contact and Policy Attitudes (2010, background): “Longitudinal research on contact, for example, gives us reason to suspect that the causal path from interracial contact to race policy attitudes may also work in the opposite direction (see Binder et al., 2009; Levin, van Laar, & Sidanius, 2003).”
Generalized Trust Through Civic Engagement? Evidence from Five National Panel Studies (2015, background): “prejudice reduces contact, a failure to take selection into account leads to an overestimation of the effect of contact on prejudice (Binder et al., 2009).”
How Peer Norms of Inclusion and Exclusion Predict Children's Interest in Cross‐Ethnic Friendships (2014, background): “ethnic friendships—can predict positive intergroup attitudes among children and adolescents (Binder et al., 2009; Feddes, Noack, & Rutland, 2009; Levin, Van Laar, & Sidanius, 2003; Tropp & Prenovost, 2008).”
