Social Identity Theory's Self-Esteem Hypothesis: A Review and Some Suggestions for Clarification
Mark Rubin,Miles Hewstone +1 more
TL;DR: Although no convincing evidence is found for the self-esteem hypothesis in its full and unqualified form, it is argued that this is due to a lack of specificity in its formulation and it is suggested that a more qualified and specific version of the hypothesis may be more appropriate.
Journal ArticleDOI

Fiona Kate Barlow,Stefania Paolini,Anne Pedersen,Matthew J. Hornsey,Helena R. M. Radke,Jake Harwood,Mark Rubin,Chris G. Sibley +7 more
TL;DR: Negative contact may be more strongly associated with increased racism and discrimination than positive contact is with its reduction, and the contact hypothesis is extended by issuing an important caveat.
Journal ArticleDOI
Negative Intergroup Contact Makes Group Memberships Salient: Explaining Why Intergroup Conflict Endures
TL;DR: The novel hypothesis of a valence-salience effect, whereby negative contact causes higher category salience than positive contact is advanced, suggests that intergroup contact is potentially biased toward worsening intergroup relations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Negative intergroup contact is more influential, but positive intergroup contact is more common: Assessing contact prominence and contact prevalence in five Central European countries
TL;DR: This paper found that positive intergroup contact was reported to occur three times more frequently than negative intra-group contact; however, positive contact was only weakly related to outgroup attitudes, especially when negativity was reported around the contact person, rather than the contact situation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Positive and extensive intergroup contact in the past buffers against the disproportionate impact of negative contact in the present
TL;DR: This paper found that positive and diverse intergroup contact in the past buffers against the harmful effects of negative contact experiences in the present, thus limiting the potential for negative spiralling of intergroup relations.
