TL;DR: Theoretical and practical implications of the findings argue for the inclusion of self-disclosure as a key component of social interventions to reduce prejudice, as exposure to the outgroup positively predicted implicit outgroup attitude.

TL;DR: The authors discuss empirical research supporting the imagined contact proposition and find it to be an approach that is at once deceptively simple and remarkably effective in encouraging more positive intergroup relations.

TL;DR: The authors investigated whether simply imagining contact with outgroup members can improve intergroup attitudes and found that the effect of imagined contact on outgroup evaluations was mediated by reduced intergroup anxiety, and suggested that imagining intergroup contact could represent a viable alternative for reducing prejudice where actual contact between groups is impractical.

TL;DR: Eight of 17 interventions were effective at reducing implicit preferences for Whites compared with Blacks, particularly ones that provided experience with counterstereotypical exemplars, used evaluative conditioning methods, and provided strategies to override biases.

TL;DR: This paper conducted a research contest to compare interventions for reducing the expression of implicit racial prejudice and found that the most potent interventions were those that invoked high self-involvement or linked Black people with positivity and White people with negativity.
