What role does intergroup contact play in promoting support for social change toward greater social equality? Drawing on the needs-based model of reconciliation, we theorized that when inequality between groups is perceived as illegitimate, disadvantaged group members will experience a need for empowerment and advantaged group members a need for acceptance. When intergroup contact satisfies each group's needs, it should result in more mutual support for social change. Using four sets of survey data collected through the Zurich Intergroup Project in 23 countries, we tested several preregistered predictions, derived from the above reasoning, across a large variety of operationalizations. Two studies of disadvantaged groups (Ns = 689 ethnic minority members in Study 1 and 3,382 sexual/gender minorities in Study 2) support the hypothesis that, after accounting for the effects of intergroup contact and perceived illegitimacy, satisfying the need for empowerment (but not acceptance) during contact is positively related to support for social change. Two studies with advantaged groups (Ns = 2,937 ethnic majority members in Study 3 and 4,203 cis-heterosexual individuals in Study 4) showed that, after accounting for illegitimacy and intergroup contact, satisfying the need for acceptance (but also empowerment) is positively related to support for social change. Overall, findings suggest that intergroup contact is compatible with efforts to promote social change when group-specific needs are met. Thus, to encourage support for social change among both disadvantaged and advantaged group members, it is essential that, besides promoting mutual acceptance, intergroup contact interventions also give voice to and empower members of disadvantaged groups.

群体间接触中的需要满足：对社会变革途径的跨国研究。

群体间接触在促进支持社会变革以实现更大的社会平等方面发挥什么作用？借鉴基于需求的和解模型，我们推测，当群体之间的不平等被视为不合理时，弱势群体成员将需要授权，而处于优势的群体成员将需要接受。当群体间的接触满足了每个群体的需求时，它应该会导致对社会变革的更多相互支持。使用通过苏黎世集团间项目在 23 个国家收集的四组调查数据，我们在各种操作中测试了从上述推理得出的几个预先登记的预测。两项针对弱势群体的研究（研究 1 中的 Ns = 689 名少数民族成员和研究 2 中的 3,382 名性/性别少数群体）支持以下假设：在考虑了群体间接触和被认为不合法的影响后，在接触期间满足授权（但不是接受）的需要与支持社会变革呈正相关。两项针对优势群体的研究（研究 3 中的 Ns = 2,937 名少数民族成员和研究 4 中的 4,203 名顺式异性恋者）表明，在考虑了私生和群体间接触后，满足接受（但也包括赋权）的需要与支持社会变革。总体而言，研究结果表明，当满足特定群体的需求时，群体间接触与促进社会变革的努力相一致。因此，为了鼓励弱势群体和有优势的群体成员支持社会变革，除了促进相互接受之外，至关重要的是，群体间接触干预也让弱势群体的成员有发言权并赋予他们权力。（PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2022 APA，保留所有权利）。
