encompass the current relations among the groups, as well as the cul ツ tural backgrounds of the individuals in the contact situations. The situ- ational factors include the setting in which the contact occurs/ the nature of the interaction, and the type of tasks the participants per ツ form. The person factors refer to the demographic characteristics of the individuals, their personality trails, and the attitudes and beliefs they bring to the contact situation- The impact of these factors is filtered 廿れダめぴ 8 ナ 下 十十 下ほぐ o テ ti へア ean て Ien@: 寸り Lto れ alrespon5esofthtel 了丁 d ぇ v@dualL フ aI- tlc@pa て下 ts.4 ・ L 丁 eSeresp くフ nsesafereferre てナ toasmledfL 刀 fingfaCtorSE ン eCause they 之 e アノ Qr て ebetweeneL イ entstL て atocc 十ユ rbe 十 ororean く二て lu 『 i く lL 二 tf へ eCo くン イ 下 - ヰ a aBdt た下な O 十 ltCo eSof eC くフ nLaCt , SO eoFt 士 寸 e5oCleta4 , Sl 十 l 入 at 丁 てフ 了 へ al , andpe ア 5Ona ゑ fcaC た CO 「 S 「 elevanttotheoutCo 田ヒ SO 牙 , mtergroupContaCta ア e llSted lnTable2 , 丈 ・

Next, contact generalizes to the group, creating intergroup liking in situations in which the group identity is salient. Contact can ultimately lead to the perception that individuals are part of an overarching group. This superordinate groitp perception results m deemphasized group differences. We -will discuss techniques that promote recategorization and creating super- 0rdinate groups later in the chapter.
