Though greater intergroup contact has been shown to predict greater support for social change among advantaged group members, little is known about what occurs during the contact that may encourage members of advantaged groups to become willing to engage in collective action in solidarity with the disadvantaged. We argue that intergroup contact with disadvantaged group members may motivate advantaged group members’ willingness to engage in collective action through the mediating pathway of communication about group differences in power during contact. Two studies tested this proposition by examining how advantaged group members communicate about group differences with disadvantaged groups during contact in two distinct national contexts: White Americans in contact with Black Americans in the U.S. (Study 1) and Turks in contact with Kurds in Turkey (Study 2). In addition, Study 2 extended the research by specifying that it is communication about group differences in power—not communication about group differences in culture—that mediates the relation between advantaged group members’ contact with the disadvantaged and their willingness to engage in collective action in solidarity with the disadvantaged. We discuss the implications of these findings for future research on intergroup contact, along with highlighting the importance of communicating about power differences across group lines.

群体间的小组差异接触与沟通如何预测优势群体之间的集体行动意图

尽管已显示出更大的群体间接触可以预测优势群体成员之间对社会变革的更大支持,但是人们对这种接触过程中发生的事情知之甚少,这种接触可能会鼓励优势群体的成员变得乐于参与弱势群体的集体行动。我们认为,群体间与弱势群体成员的接触可能会激发弱势群体成员通过关于群体权力差异沟通途径进行集体行动的意愿在联系中。两项研究通过考察优势群体成员在两个截然不同的国家背景下接触期间与弱势群体之间群体差异的沟通方式来检验这一主张:美国白人与美国黑人美国人接触(研究1)和土耳其人与土耳其库尔德人接触(研究1) 2)。此外,研究2扩展研究通过指定它是关于在组间差异通信功率-not通信有关在组间差异培养-调解了处于不利地位的团体成员与处境不利者的接触与他们团结一致地参与处境不利者的意愿之间的关系。我们讨论了这些发现对未来群体间联系研究的意义,并强调了交流跨群体力量差异的重要性。
