Secondary transfer effect of contact: Do intergroup contact effects spread to noncontacted outgroups? (2009, background): “Could these secondary transfer effects reflect largely the tendency for tolerant people to have, and intolerant people to avoid, outgroup contact generally? Many studies have shown this reverse causal order (Binder et al., in press; Butler & Wilson, 1978; Levin, van Laar, & Sidanius, 2003; Pettigrew”
Advances in Intergroup Contact (2012, background): “Given the implications of the secondary transfer effect for improving intergroup relations beyond what was previously thought possible, attention does need to be focused on policy development within our diversifying societies (Brown & Hewstone, 2005; Pettigrew, 2008).”
Positive and extensive intergroup contact in the past buffers against the disproportionate impact of negative contact in the present (2014, background): “Because of a focus on prejudice reduction, social psychological analyses of intergroup contact have traditionally shied away from negative intergroup contact and comparisons of negative versus positive contact (Pettigrew, 2008).”
Intergroup contact and intergroup conflict. (2014, unknown): “Fourth, future research must pay more attention to the negative factors operating in some contact situations (Pettigrew, 2008), which poison intergroup relations, as well as the effects of intergroup contact in especially demanding (i.e., nonoptimal) settings.”
Cross-Group Friendships and Intergroup Attitudes (2011, background): “, or (e) other outgroups not involved in the contact situation (see Pettigrew, 1997, 2008; Pettigrew & Tropp, 2006).”
Consequences of Diversity for Social Cohesion and Prejudice: The Missing Dimension of Intergroup Contact (2015, background): “…among some researchers interested in the consequences of contact that we need to consider wider contextual phenomena and their interplay with individual-level outcomes (see, e.g., Pettigrew, 2008; Pettigrew & Tropp, 2011), and this would ideally be done using longitudinal and multilevel studies.”
Morality and intergroup relations: Threats to safety and group image predict the desire to interact with outgroup and ingroup members☆ (2013, background): “For instance, research on intergroup contact has repeatedly shown that the perception of threat represents an important predictor of overall group attitudes (Pettigrew, 2008; Pettigrew & Tropp, 2006).”
Seeking and avoiding intergroup contact: Future frontiers of research on building social integration (2018, background): “Positive contact is far more prevalent than negative contact, in both peaceful and post‐conflict societies (Barlow et al., 2012; Dhont & Van Hiel, 2009; Graf, Paolini, & Rubin, 2014; Hayward, Tropp, Hornsey, & Barlow, 2017; Pettigrew, 2008).”
The Associations of Intergroup Interactions and School Racial Socialization with Academic Motivation (2015, background): “More intergroup contact and equal status can also reduce bias against other groups, which can prompt students to be more open to friendships across race (Pettigrew, 2008).”
Positive intergroup contact, negative intergroup contact, and threat as predictors of cognitive and affective dimensions of prejudice (2015, background): “The first comes from calls for a focus on how contact leads to negative effects (e.g., Pettigrew, 2008).”
Direct, extended, and mass-mediated contact with immigrants in Italy: their associations with emotions, prejudice, and humanity perceptions (2017, background): “Indeed, although research on negative contact is limited, there is now growing evidence that this type of contact influences negatively intergroup perceptions and may hinder or counteract the beneficial effects of positive contact (Barlow et al., 2012; Pettigrew, 2008).”
An Investigation of Positive and Negative Contact As Predictors of Intergroup Attitudes in the United States, Hong Kong, and Thailand (2015, background): “Nevertheless, in a seminal review, Pettigrew (2008) argued that negative contact deserves to become the central focus of contact research due to its potential to disrupt the beneficial effects of positive contact.”
Prejudice, stereotyping and discrimination: Theoretical and empirical overview (2010, background): “In one example, Pettigrew (2008) recently called for a greater focus on the multi-level nature of intergroup contact where, for example, members of different groups may inhabit different neighborhoods, but come together in common classrooms, in different schools.”
