摘要

接触理论预测,种族间的接触会减少对少数民族的歧视。相比之下,冲突理论预测种族间接触会加剧歧视。然而,所接受的范围条件是模糊的,不能适当地区分理论的领域。此外,先前的证据大多是相关的,支持接触理论的现场实验主要是在少数情况下积累的。这就引出了一个问题,即种族间的接触如何影响日常情况下的种族间关系。作者测试了在日常条件下种族间暴露对歧视的因果影响,在一个大型的预登记随机现场实验中,涉及39所匈牙利学校的N= 2395名学生。作者发现,无论是在教室里操纵学生间种族接触的密切程度,还是在不同年级之间操纵种族构成的变化,都不会影响反少数民族歧视。这表明,接触和冲突理论的领域比以前认为的要窄得多。在许多日常环境中,种族间的接触可能不会影响歧视。

Rearranging the Desk Chairs: A Large Randomized Field Experiment on the Effects of Close Contact on Interethnic Relations
Contact theory predicts that interethnic exposure reduces antiminority discrimination. By contrast, conflict theory predicts that interethnic exposure worsens discrimination. Received scope conditions, however, are vague and do not properly differentiate between the domains of the theories. Furthermore, prior evidence is mostly correlational, and supportive field experiments for contact theory have largely accrued in rarefied settings. This begs the question how interethnic contact affects interethnic relations in everyday situations. The authors test the causal effect of interethnic exposure on discrimination under quotidian conditions in a large preregistered randomized field experiment involving N=2,395 students in 39 Hungarian schools. The authors find that neither manipulating the closeness of interethnic exposure between students within classrooms nor variation in ethnic composition across grade levels affects antiminority discrimination. This indicates that the domains of contact and conflict theory are much narrower than previously thought. Interethnic contact may not affect discrimination either way in many everyday settings.

期刊介绍: Established in 1895 as the first US scholarly journal in its field, the American Journal of Sociology (AJS) presents pathbreaking work from all areas of sociology, with an emphasis on theory building and innovative methods. AJS strives to speak to the general sociology reader and is open to contributions from across the social sciences—sociology, political science, economics, history, anthropology, and statistics—that seriously engage the sociological literature to forge new ways of understanding the social. AJS offers a substantial book review section that identifies the most salient work of both emerging and enduring scholars of social science. Commissioned review essays appear occasionally, offering readers a comparative, in-depth examination of prominent titles. Although AJS publishes a very small percentage of the papers submitted to it, a double-blind review process is available to all qualified submissions, making the journal a center for exchange and debate "behind" the printed page and contributing to the robustness of social science research in general.
