Research on intergroup contact and prejudice reduction has dedicated little attention to relations between minority groups. We examined whether interminority extended contact, that is, the knowledge that a member of the minority ingroup has a friend from the minority outgroup, is associated with positive outgroup attitudes. Affective (outgroup empathy and outgroup trust) and cognitive (ingroup norm) mediators were considered.
Two correlational studies were conducted. Study 1 (N = 640, 50% female, mean age = 44 years) was conducted in Bulgaria among the Bulgarian Turkish and Roma ethnic minorities, while Study 2 (N = 458, 67% female, mean age = 44 years) was conducted in Finland among Estonian and Russian immigrants.
Path analyses showed that, over and above the effects of direct contact between the minority groups, interminority extended contact was associated with positive outgroup attitudes in both intergroup settings. These effects occurred through empathy (Study 1), trust, and ingroup norms (Study 2).
The 2 studies highlight interminority extended contact as a means to promote harmonious interminority relationships and suggest the implementation of interventions based on extended contact to reduce interminority prejudice and to foster solidarity among minorities. (PsycINFO Database Record
群体间接触与偏见减少的研究很少关注少数群体之间的关系。我们研究了少数群体间的扩展接触，即少数群体内群体成员有一个来自少数群体外群体的朋友这一认知，是否与对外群体的积极态度相关。研究考虑了情感（对外群体的同理心和对外群体的信任）和认知（内群体规范）中介因素。
进行了两项相关研究。研究1（N = 640，50%为女性，平均年龄 = 44岁）在保加利亚的保加利亚土耳其族和罗姆族少数群体中进行，而研究2（N = 458，67%为女性，平均年龄 = 44岁）在芬兰的爱沙尼亚和俄罗斯移民中进行。
路径分析表明，除了少数群体之间直接接触的影响外，少数群体间的扩展接触在两种群体间情境中均与对外群体的积极态度相关。这些影响通过同理心（研究1）、信任和内群体规范（研究2）产生。
这两项研究强调少数群体间的扩展接触是促进少数群体间和谐关系的一种方式，并建议实施基于扩展接触的干预措施，以减少少数群体间的偏见并促进少数群体之间的团结。（PsycINFO数据库记录
