Abstract

This study investigates the impact of intergroup contact of White British adults ( N = 192) on the language used when describing their recent interactions with Asian British people. Specifically, we assessed the role of different forms of intergroup contact (i.e., cross-group friendship, positive and negative, and direct and extended contact) on the abstraction of negative terms used by White British people, as a linguistic measure of outgroup derogation. As expected, the frequency of direct negative intergroup contact was associated with higher negative language abstraction in depicting Asian British people. However, this association was weaker for White British people with higher levels of positive direct and extended intergroup contacts compared to those with lower levels of positive direct and extended contact. Overall, results emphasize the importance of independently analyzing the impact of positive and negative intergroup contact experiences, as well as understanding how they interact with each other in the communication of intergroup discrimination.

积极和消极的群体间接触如何影响对移民歧视的传播
本研究调查了英国白人成年人(192 人)在描述他们最近与英国亚裔人的互动时所使用的语言时所受到的群体间接触的影响。具体来说,我们评估了不同形式的群体间接触(即跨群体友谊、正面和负面接触、直接和扩展接触)对英国白人所使用的负面词汇的抽象化所起的作用,以此作为对外群体贬损的语言衡量标准。不出所料,在描述亚裔英国人时,群体间直接负面接触的频率与较高的负面语言抽象相关。然而,与正面直接接触和扩展接触较少的英国白人相比,正面直接接触和扩展接触较多的英国白人的这种关联较弱。总之,研究结果强调了独立分析积极和消极群体间接触经历的影响以及了解它们在群体间歧视传播中如何相互作用的重要性。
