The Dynamics of Interminority Extended Contact: The Role of Affective and Cognitive Mediators 少数民族间扩展接触的活力：情感因素和认知因素的角色 Objective: Research on intergroup contact and prejudice reduction has dedicated little attention to relations between minority groups. We examined whether interminority extended contact, that is, the knowledge that a member of the minority ingroup has a friend from the minority outgroup, is associated with positive outgroup attitudes. Affective (outgroup empathy and outgroup trust) and cognitive (ingroup norm) mediators were considered. Method: Two correlational studies were conducted. Study 1 (N = 640, 50% female, mean age = 44 years) was conducted in Bulgaria among the Bulgarian Turkish and Roma ethnic minorities, while Study 2 (N = 458, 67% female, mean age = 44 years) was conducted in Finland among Estonian and Russian immigrants. Results: Path analyses showed that, over and above the effects of direct contact between the minority groups, interminority extended contact was associated with positive outgroup attitudes in both intergroup settings. These effects occurred through empathy (Study 1), trust, and ingroup norms (Study 2). Conclusion: The 2 studies highlight interminority extended contact as a means to promote harmonious interminority relationships and suggest the implementation of interventions based on extended contact to reduce interminority prejudice and to foster solidarity among minorities. 目的：对族群间接触和减少偏见的研究对少数民族群体之间关系的关注很少。我们研究是否少数民族之间的扩展接触，即少数族群的成员有来自其他少数族群的朋友，与对其他族群的积极态度有关。我们考虑了情感（组外同情和组外信任）和认知（组内范式）的调节因素。方法：进行了两个相关性的研究。研究1（N = 640，50%女性，平均年龄44岁）是在保加利亚进行，对象是保加利亚的土耳其人和罗姆人少数民族，而研究2（N = 458，67%女性，平均年龄44岁）是在芬兰进行，对象是爱沙尼亚和俄罗斯移民。结果：路径分析表明，超越少数民族群体之间的直接接触的作用，少数民族间的扩展接触与在两群中对它组的积极态度有关联。这些效果是通过同情（研究1）、信任和组内规范（研究2）起作用的。结论：两个研究强调少数民族间的扩展接触，可作为促进少数民族间的和谐关系的一种手段，并提出基于扩展接触的干预措施可以减少族裔间偏见，增进少数民族间的团结。 作者: Visintin, Emilio Paolo; Brylka, Asteria; Green, Eva G.
