Reducing workplace bias toward people with disabilities with the use of imagined contact
TLDR
In this article, the authors test the effectiveness of imagined intergroup contact as an intervention that improves attitudes toward people with disabilities in organizational settings and find evidence that the imagined contact intervention significantly impacted on two dependent variables: expected work-related outcomes and support for the rights of people with disability, via enhancing the belief in performance level.Abstract:
In this research we test the effectiveness of imagined intergroup contact as an intervention that improves attitudes toward people with disabilities in organizational settings. We conducted two experimental studies with the aim of examining the bias-reduction effects of imagined contact on attitudes toward people with disabilities. Furthermore, we examined how imagined contact can be most effective in improving attitudes in work situations. Both studies yielded evidence that the imagined contact intervention significantly impacted on two dependent variables: expected work-related outcomes and support for the rights of people with disabilities, via enhancing the belief in performance level. We discuss the results in the context of developing effective and accessible intervention tools, which can be used in workplace trainings, and can promote anti-discriminatory policies in organizations.read more

Cross-group friendships and psychological well-being: A dual pathway through social integration and empowerment.
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that disabled people's cross-group friendships were directly and indirectly associated with higher levels of psychological well-being via two routes: one by promoting perceived majority attitudes which consequently led to more positive own outgroup attitudes (well-being through social integration hypothesis) and the other by leading to higher Levels of collective self-esteem which enhanced collective action tendencies.

SPSS and SAS procedures for estimating indirect effects in simple mediation models.
TL;DR: It is argued the importance of directly testing the significance of indirect effects and provided SPSS and SAS macros that facilitate estimation of the indirect effect with a normal theory approach and a bootstrap approach to obtaining confidence intervals to enhance the frequency of formal mediation tests in the psychology literature.

A meta-analytic test of intergroup contact theory.
TL;DR: The meta-analysis finds that intergroup contact typically reduces intergroup prejudice, and this result suggests that contact theory, devised originally for racial and ethnic encounters, can be extended to other groups.
