Several positive functions have been ascribed to integrative internal dialogues (IDs), which are based on mutual openness to a partner's viewpoint and a readiness to consider his/her arguments in order to potentially modify one's own stance. As the technique of imagined intergroup contact (IIC) favorably influences attitudes towards outgroup members, it was hypothesized that IIC would have a beneficial impact on IDs with an outgroup member when the dialogue is focused on differences between ingroup and outgroup. In the experiment, 151 people (80 women) participated. It revealed that after IIC, both the dialogue author's confrontational attitude and the interlocutor's integrative attitude decreased. Thus, IIC made participants less inclined to gain an advantage over their imagined outgroup interlocutors and more inclined to give them freedom in IDs. However, the effect was significant only when the author's involvement in ID was high or medium.
整合性内部对话（IDs）具有多种积极作用，它基于对伙伴观点的相互开放以及愿意考虑对方论点以潜在地改变自己立场。由于想象的群体间接触（IIC）技术对对外群体成员的态度有积极影响，因此假设当对话聚焦于内群体和外群体之间的差异时，IIC会对与外群体成员的IDs产生有益影响。在该实验中，151人（80名女性）参与。结果显示，在IIC之后，对话发起者的对抗态度和对话者的整合态度都有所降低。因此，IIC使参与者减少了在与想象中的外群体对话者交流中获取优势的倾向，而更倾向于在IDs中给予对方自由。然而，只有当发起者对ID的参与度为高或中等时，这种效果才显著。
