We used Allport’s (1954) intergroup contact theory as a framework to test the effectiveness of 2 vicarious contact interventions on improving attitudes toward undocumented immigrants. The first intervention was DREAMzone, a 4-hr ally certification workshop. The second intervention was a 30-min documentary film chronicling the stories of 5 undocumented immigrants. Participants (N = 239) experienced 1 of these 2 conditions or were part of a control group. Pre- and posttest assessments were conducted on various attitudes toward undocumented immigrants (i.e., empathy, anxiety, and prejudice). Our results indicated that both intervention modalities significantly improved attitudes toward undocumented immigrants. Attitudes of those in the control group did not change across assessments. Implications for higher education research and practice are discussed.

DREAMzone：测试两种替代性接触干预以改善对无证移民的态度。

我们使用 Allport (1954) 的群际接触理论作为框架来测试 2 种替代接触干预措施在改善对无证移民的态度方面的有效性。第一个干预是 DREAMzone，一个 4 小时的盟友认证研讨会。第二个干预是一部 30 分钟的纪录片，记录了 5 名无证移民的故事。参与者 (N = 239) 经历了这 2 种情况中的一种，或者是对照组的一部分。对无证移民的各种态度（即同理心、焦虑和偏见）进行了测试前和测试后评估。我们的结果表明，两种干预方式都显着改善了对无证移民的态度。对照组中的人的态度在评估中没有变化。
