West, Holmes & Hewstone, 2011 - Imagined contact and schizophrenia

This is a video description of the published paper:

West, K., Holmes, E. & Hewstone, M. (2011) Enhancing imagined contact to reduce prejudice against people with schizophrenia, Group Processes and Intergroup Relations, 14, 407 - 428.

Four studies investigated the effect of imagining intergroup contact on prejudice against people with schizophrenia. Experiments 1 and 2 demonstrated that a neutral imagined contact task can have negative effects, compared to a control condition, even when paired with incidental positive information (Experiment 2). Experiments 3 and 4 demonstrated, however, that an integrated positive imagined contact scenario does result in less intergroup anxiety and more positive attitudes, even toward this challenging group. I discuss the implications for using imagined contact as a prejudice-reducing intervention.
