abstract="Dixon et al. overlook the fact that contact predicts not only favorable out-group attitudes/evaluations, but also cognitions, affect, and behavior. The weight of evidence supporting the benefits of intergroup contact cautions against throwing the (contact) baby out with the bathwater. The goal to &quot;ignite struggles&quot; in pursuit of social equality, we argue, incautiously risks hurling us down the proverbial rabbit hole.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
