Özet
The present chapter addresses a gap in the literature by exploring
whether the positive effects of contact extend to solidarity and whether
prejudice reduction strategies contribute to this process, further
exploring whether solidarity motivates social change via non-normative
collective action intentions. The chapter begins by describing a
theoretical model in which dimensions of contact, namely, quality and
quantity, and a common in-group identity predict normative and
non-normative collective action tendencies, in addition to support for
policies benefiting disadvantaged indigenous out-groups via solidarity,
efficacy perceptions, and anger. Findings revealed that (a) solidarity
mediated the effects of quality of contact on normative collective
action intentions and support for policies and (b) group efficacy
mediated the effects of common in-group identity and quality of contact
on normative collective action intentions. In addition, common in-group
identity also has a positive effect on non-normative collective action
intentions via anger. Thus, we investigated and documented how contact
dimensions, quality versus quantity, have differential effects on
solidarity, perceptions of efficacy, and anger among the advantaged and
solidarity plays a key role in motivating social change via a normative
path, collective action, and support for policies.
