Triandis, Harry C. Goto, Sharon Grace 2011-05-07T13:09:06Z 2011-05-07T13:09:06Z 10000-01-01 1996 Issues of intergroup relations were addressed through an empirical integration of some variables related to the contact hypothesis (Amir, 1969; Miller & Brewer, 1984). A subset of the variables and their inter-relations described by Triandis (1992) was tested using a structural equation modelling approach. Specifically, the study looked at perceived cultural level variables (e.g., history of conflict, cultural distance, knowledge of culture) and interpersonal variables (e.g., perceived similarity, opportunity to interact) to predict (dis)satisfying intercultural contact, intergroup attitude, and intention for future interaction. The model was tested from two perspectives (European-American and African-American) differing in majority and minority status. Results support the basic premises of the hypothesized model in both groups. However, several interesting differences were revealed with respect to the meaning of the constructs across groups, and the necessary addition of paths needed to improve the model's fit. Several alternative models were also tested that looked at the effects of social distance of the target person, and alternative order effects of affect, behavior and cognition. The results were discussed in terms of differences in culture and power, and implications for future research and application were drawn. Made available in DSpace on 2011-05-07T13:09:06Z (GMT).
