TL;DR: The extended contact hypothesis as mentioned in this paper proposes that knowledge that an in-group member has a close relationship with an outgroup member can lead to more positive intergroup attitudes, and four methodologically diverse studies to demonstrate the phenomenon.

TL;DR: The question addressed in this paper is, when do disadvantaged-group members accept their situation, take individual action, or attempt to instigate collective action? Ss attempted to move from a low-status group into an advantaged, high status group and were asked to respond to their subsequent rejeche tion.

TL;DR: Time spent and self-disclosure with outgroup friends yielded significantly greater associations with attitudes than other friendship measures, suggesting that attitudes are most likely to improve when cross-group friendships involve behavioral engagement.

TL;DR: Inclusion of Ingroup in the Self (IISIIS) as discussed by the authors measures the degree to which the ingroup is included in the self and introduces the IIS measure to reflect this conceptualization.

TL;DR: The authors found that respondents perceive a higher level of discrimination directed at their group as a whole than at themselves as individual members of that group, and three possible explanations for the discrepancy point to possible avenues for future research: the denial of personal discrimination, the exaggeration of group discrimination, and information processing biases.
