Recent research has highlighted the potential of nostalgic recall of intergroup contact as a means of enhancing intergroup relationships and tackling prejudice. In this article, we review the scarce but promising literature that integrates research on nostalgia and intergroup contact. We outline the mechanisms that explain the link between nostalgic intergroup encounters and improved intergroup attitudes and behavior. We further highlight the benefits that nostalgic contact reverie may have for intergroup relations - and beyond. We then discuss the potential of nostalgic intergroup contact as a strategy for real-world, prejudice reduction interventions. Finally, we draw on current research from the fields of nostalgia and intergroup contact to make suggestions for future research. "… nostalgic memories … lead to a vivid sense of commonality [which] accelerates the process of acquaintance in a community where formerly only barriers may have existed." [1, p. 454].
最近的研究强调了怀旧式群体间接触回忆的潜力，它可以作为一种增强群体间关系和解决偏见的手段。在本文中，我们回顾了将怀旧和群体间接触研究结合起来的为数不多但很有前景的文献。我们概述了解释怀旧式群体间接触与改善群体间态度和行为之间联系的机制。我们进一步强调了怀旧式群体间接触幻想可能对群体间关系——甚至超越群体间关系——带来的好处。然后，我们讨论了怀旧式群体间接触作为现实世界中减少偏见干预策略的潜力。最后，我们借鉴了怀旧和群体间接触领域的当前研究，为未来的研究提出了建议。 “……怀旧记忆……会产生一种强烈的共性感[这]加速了一个曾经只有障碍的社区中的相识过程。”[1，第 454 页]。
