SUMMARY:Bonn Applied Micro Seminar: Matt Lowe\, “Learning About Outgroups
 : The Impact of Broad Versus Deep Interactions”
DESCRIPTION:Anujit Chakraborty\, Arkadev Ghosh\, Matt Lowe\, and Gareth Nel
 lis:\n“Learning About Outgroups: The Impact of Broad Versus Deep Interac
 tions”\n\nWe hypothesize that broad contact\, involving brief interactio
 ns with multiple outgroup members\, and deep contact\, meaning longer inte
 ractions with a single outgroup member\, play distinct roles in shaping i
 ntergroup relations. We set up a factory in India and recruited Hindu and
  Muslim men to work in pairs on joint production tasks. We randomly assign
 ed participants to work either with the same ingroup or outgroup partner d
 aily (deep contact)\, a different outgroup partner each day (broad contac
 t)\, or to a control group. While deep contact strengthens social and eco
 nomic ties with the outgroup partner interacted with\, only broad contact 
 reduces misperceptions about outgroup strangers. These findings align with
  a model in which independent sampling (observing multiple outgroup membe
 rs) promotes learning about outgroups more than prolonged interaction with
  a single individual does. Nevertheless\, neither type of contact changes
  behavior toward the wider outgroup.
