Previous research has shown that (a) positive intergroup contact with an advantaged group can discourage collective action among disadvantaged-group members and (b) positive intergroup contact can encourage advantaged-group members to take action on behalf of disadvantaged outgroups. Two studies investigated the effects of negative as well as positive intergroup contact. Study 1 ( n = 482) found that negative but not positive contact with heterosexual people was associated with sexual-minority students' engagement in collective action (via group identification and perceived discrimination). Among heterosexual students, positive and negative contacts were associated with, respectively, more and less LGB (lesbian, gay, bisexual) activism. Study 2 ( N = 1,469) found that only negative contact (via perceived discrimination) predicted LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender) students' collective action intentions longitudinally while only positive contact predicted heterosexual/cisgender students' LGBT activism. Implications for the relationship between intergroup contact, collective action, and social change are discussed.
(a)与优势群体的积极的群体间接触可能会抑制弱势群体成员的集体行动；(b)积极的群体间接触可以鼓励优势群体成员为弱势群体采取行动。有两项研究调查了消极和积极的群体间接触的影响。研究 1（n=482）发现，与异性恋者的消极接触而不是积极接触与少数性取向学生的集体行动有关（通过群体认同和感知歧视）。在异性恋学生中，积极和消极的接触分别与更多和更少的同性恋、双性恋和跨性别（LGB）活动有关。研究 2（N=1469）发现，只有消极接触（通过感知歧视）可以预测跨性别学生的集体行动意向，而只有积极接触可以预测异性恋/顺性别学生的 LGB 活动。讨论了群体间接触、集体行动和社会变革之间关系的含义。
