Differential Effects of Intergroup Contact for Authoritarians and Social Dominators: A Dual Process Model Perspective
113
TL;DR: The model predicts that intergroup contact should be particularly effective for people high in right-wing authoritarianism, but not those high in social dominance orientation, because these ideological attitudes are driven by different underlying motivational goals.

Abstract: Intergroup contact is among the most effective ways to improve intergroup attitudes. Research examining whether the effects of contact are contingent on individual differences is limited, however. The authors test a dual process model perspective of individual differences in contact and prejudice. Their model predicts that intergroup contact should be particularly effective for people high in right-wing authoritarianism, but not those high in social dominance orientation, because these ideological attitudes are driven by different underlying motivational goals. The authors confirm these hypotheses in longitudinal (N = 805) and cross-sectional (N = 1,343) national probability samples. They also isolate perceived social threat, but not competitive threat, as a mediator for the interaction of right-wing authoritarianism and contact on prejudice. The authors elaborate on the individual difference mechanisms that facilitate and inhibit the effects of intergroup contact on prejudice and discuss how these relati...

Parent–Child Similarity in Common and Specific Components of Prejudice: The Role of Ideological Attitudes and Political Discussion
TL;DR: Using a representative sample of Belgian adolescents (N = 1530) and both their parents, this paper investigated the parent-child similarity in prejudice towards different outgroups and ideological attitud...
The Role of Personality Factors in the Reduction of Intergroup Anxiety and Amelioration of Outgroup Attitudes via Intergroup Contact
TL;DR: This paper investigated the role of personality factors in the amelioration of outgroup attitudes via intergroup contact and found that the effect of extraversion on outgroup attitude operated via a...
Diversity and Out-Group Attitudes in the Netherlands: The Role of Authoritarianism and Social Threat in the Neighbourhood
TL;DR: The authors investigated the role of two potential moderators: right-wing authoritarianism and social threat in the local neighbourhood and found that diversity was negatively related to positive attitudes towards immigrants among high authoritarians and among people experiencing their immediate environment as threatening.

TL;DR: This paper developed an integrative model of transnational social movement formation shaped by pre-existing world-views (social dominance orientation and right-wing authoritarianism) and social media exposure to iconic events, resulting in an emergent group consciousness.

Unwilling, but not unaffected—Imagined contact effects for authoritarians and social dominators
TL;DR: In this article, the authors tested the hypothesis that imagined contact, that is, the mental representation of a positive intergroup encounter, improves intergroup relations for high right-wing authoritarianism (RWA) individuals.

Asymptotic and resampling strategies for assessing and comparing indirect effects in multiple mediator models
TL;DR: An overview of simple and multiple mediation is provided and three approaches that can be used to investigate indirect processes, as well as methods for contrasting two or more mediators within a single model are explored.

Multiple Regression: Testing and Interpreting Interactions
TL;DR: In this article, multiple regression is used to test and interpret multiple regression interactions in the context of multiple-agent networks. But it is not suitable for single-agent systems, as discussed in this paper.

Missing data: Our view of the state of the art.
Joseph L. Schafer,John W. Graham +1 more
TL;DR: 2 general approaches that come highly recommended: maximum likelihood (ML) and Bayesian multiple imputation (MI) are presented and may eventually extend the ML and MI methods that currently represent the state of the art.
Mediation in experimental and nonexperimental studies: New procedures and recommendations.
Patrick E. Shrout,Niall Bolger +1 more
TL;DR: Efron and Tibshirani as discussed by the authors used bootstrap tests to assess mediation, finding that the sampling distribution of the mediated effect is skewed away from 0, and they argued that R. M. Kenny's (1986) recommendation of first testing the X --> Y association for statistical significance should not be a requirement when there is a priori belief that the effect size is small or suppression is a possibility.
