Abstract

ABSTRACT This exploratory study examined changes in intergroup attitudes and interpersonal relationships between members of virtual groups from diverse and conflicting backgrounds in an intergroup contact program. Seventy-six students took part in a collaborative online course during one academic year connecting Jews and Arabs in Israel. They marked their perceived distance to their team members at the beginning and end of the course using the novel Team Circles tool. Initially both Arab and Jewish students felt closer to their in-group team members. However, perceived distances decreased significantly over time with Arab students reporting equal perceived distances to their in-group and out-group members after the course. The results from the Team Circles test were combined with repeated measures of intergroup attitudes using Implicit Association Tests. Although no significant changes in intergroup attitudes were observed, greater reduction in perceived distances to out-group team members resulted in lower levels of prejudice toward the out-group as a whole after the course.

冲突群体在线接触中的群体间态度与人际关系

本探索性研究考察了来自不同和冲突背景的虚拟群体成员在群体间接触项目中群体间态度和人际关系的变化。76名学生在一学年的时间里参加了一门连接以色列犹太人和阿拉伯人的合作在线课程。他们在课程开始和结束时使用新颖的团队圈子工具标记他们与团队成员的感知距离。最初，阿拉伯学生和犹太学生都觉得与小组成员更亲近。然而，随着时间的推移，感知距离显著下降，阿拉伯学生在课程结束后报告与他们的群体内和群体外成员的感知距离相等。团队圈子测试的结果与使用内隐联想测试重复测量的群体间态度相结合。虽然小组间的态度没有明显的变化，但在课程结束后，与小组外团队成员的感知距离的减少导致了对小组外整体的偏见水平的降低。
