How do we get people into contact? Predictors of intergroup contact and drivers of contact seeking (2020, background): “Past research has demonstrated that repeated imagining of positive encounters with members of the conflicted group leads to both a decrease in outgroup prejudice as well as to greater intentions to engage in future contact (e.g., in the context of Greek-Turkish relations in Cyprus; Husnu & Crisp, 20”
The Imagined Contact Hypothesis (2012, background): “Compared to participants in the control condition, those in the imagined contact condition reported more positive beliefs regarding the character traits held by the typical Muslim, had more positive feelings about Muslims and behaved more positively towards the outgroup, choosing to sit closer to th”
Improving implicit and explicit intergroup attitudes using imagined contact: An experimental intervention with elementary school children (2012, background): “This enhanced elaboration has been shown to be beneficial for empowering the effects of imagined contact (Harwood et al., 2011; Husnu & Crisp, 2010a).”
From imagery to intention: A dual route model of imagined contact effects (2010, methodology): “…scenario (Husnu & Crisp, 2010a), likelihood estimates that the behaviour will take place (Husnu & Crisp, 2011), subjective ratings of ease of recall of the imagined scenario (Husnu & Crisp, 2010a), and meta-cognitive judgements concerning one’s own levels of tolerance (Crisp & Husnu, in press).”

Intergroup bias toward “Group X”: Evidence of prejudice, dehumanization, avoidance, and discrimination against asexuals (2012, background): “Using 8-point scales participants indicated the likelihood of and interest in conversing with members of each sexual orientation group in the future (from Husnu & Crisp, 2010).”
Behavioural consequences of imagining intergroup contact with stigmatized outgroups (2012, background): “…a range of positive consequences for intergroup relations, including more positive attitudes, less intergroup anxiety, and greater intergroup trust (Husnu & Crisp, 2010a, 2010b; Stathi & Crisp, 2008; Turner, Crisp, & Lambert, 2007; Turner, West, & Christie, in press; West, Holmes, & Hewstone,…”
