Preferred term

extended contact effect  

Definition(s)

  • According to the extended contact effect, merely knowing that a member of our group has a close friend from another group can improve our attitudes toward that group. This means that even a relatively small number of cross-group friendships can have a wide impact on prejudice and thus can influence relations between groups on a large scale. [Source: Encyclopedia of Group Processes & Intergroup Relations; Extended Contact Effect]
