Although 50 years of research demonstrate that friendly intergroup contact reduces intergroup prejudice, the findings are based solely on self-reported, explicit prejudice. In two parallel experiments examining intergroup contact and prejudice-between Whites and Blacks in the United States (Experiment 1) and between Christians and Muslims in Lebanon (Experiment 2)-we examined whether intergroup status differences moderate contact effects on implicit prejudice, as well as explicit prejudice. Both experiments replicated the standard effect of contact on explicit prejudice. They also demonstrated that intergroup contact reduces implicit prejudice among low-status groups. In Experiment 1, the implicit prejudice of Blacks toward Whites (but not Whites toward Blacks) was reduced as a function of friendly contact. In Experiment 2, the implicit prejudice of Muslims toward Christians (but not Christians toward Muslims) was reduced as a function of friendly contact.
尽管50年的研究表明，友好的群体间接触能减少群体间偏见，但这些发现仅基于自我报告的显性偏见。在两项平行实验中，我们研究了群体间地位差异是否会调节接触对隐性偏见以及显性偏见的影响。这两项实验分别是关于美国白人和黑人之间的群体接触与偏见（实验1），以及黎巴嫩基督徒和穆斯林之间的群体接触与偏见（实验2）。两项实验都重现了接触对显性偏见的标准效应。它们还表明，群体间接触能减少低地位群体中的隐性偏见。在实验1中，黑人对白人的隐性偏见（而非白人对黑人的隐性偏见）因友好接触而减少。在实验2中，穆斯林对基督徒的隐性偏见（而非基督徒对穆斯林的隐性偏见）因友好接触而减少。
