sg-smu-ink.lkcsb_research-65632019-08-29T06:27:28Z Perspective-taking increases willingness to engage in intergroup contact WANG, Cynthia TAI, Kenneth KU, Gillian GALINSKY, Adam D. Duplicate record, see https://ink.library.smu.edu.sg/lkcsb_research/3631/. The current research explored whether perspective-taking increases willingness to engage in contact with stereotyped outgroup members. Across three studies, we find that perspective-taking increases willingness to engage in contact with negatively-stereotyped targets. In Study 1, perspective-takers sat closer to, whereas stereotype suppressors sat further from, a hooligan compared to control participants. In Study 2, individual differences in perspective-taking tendencies predicted individuals’ willingness to engage in contact with a hooligan, having effects above and beyond those of empathic concern. Finally, Study 3 demonstrated that perspective-taking’s effects on intergroup contact extend to the target’s group (i.e., another homeless man), but not to other outgroups (i.e., a man of African descent). Consistent with other perspectivetaking research, our findings show that perspective-taking facilitates the creation of social bonds by increasing contact with stereotyped outgroup members. 2014-01-01T08:00:00Z text application/pdf https://ink.library.smu.edu.sg/lkcsb_research/5564 info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0085681 https://ink.library.smu.edu.sg/context/lkcsb_research/article/6563/viewcontent/Perspective_taking_increases_willingness_to_engage_in_intergroup_contact.PDF http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/ Research Collection Lee Kong Chian School Of Business eng Institutional Knowledge at Singapore Management University Organizational Behavior and Theory Organization Development |
