Scholars have been increasingly interested in how everyday interactions in various places with people from different ethnic/religious background impact inter-group relations. Drawing on representative surveys in Leeds and Warsaw (2012), we examine whether encounters with ethnic and religious minorities in different type of space are associated with more tolerance towards them. We find that in Leeds, more favourable affective attitudes are associated with contact in institutional spaces (workplace and study places) and socialisation spaces (social clubs, voluntary groups, religious meeting places); however, in case of behavioural intentions - operationalised as willingness to be friendly to minority neighbours - only encounters in socialisation spaces play a significant role in prejudice reduction. In Warsaw, people who have contacts with ethnic and religious minorities in public (streets, park, public services and transport) and consumption spaces (cafés, pubs, restaurants) express more positive affective attitudes towards them, but only encounters in consumption space translate into willingness to be friendly to minority neighbours.
学者们越来越关注在不同场所与来自不同种族/宗教背景的人进行日常互动如何影响群体间关系。基于利兹和华沙（2012年）的代表性调查，我们研究了在不同类型空间中与少数族裔和宗教群体的接触是否与对他们更多的宽容相关。我们发现，在利兹，更积极的情感态度与在机构空间（工作场所和学习场所）以及社交空间（社交俱乐部、志愿团体、宗教集会场所）的接触相关；然而，就行为意图而言——具体表现为愿意对少数族裔邻居友好——只有在社交空间的接触在减少偏见方面发挥重要作用。在华沙，在公共场合（街道、公园、公共服务场所和交通场所）以及消费空间（咖啡馆、酒吧、餐馆）与少数族裔和宗教群体有接触的人对他们表达了更积极的情感态度，但只有在消费空间的接触转化为愿意对少数族裔邻居友好。
