Abstract

The Common Ingroup Identity Model (CIIM) holds that four levels of categorization (the

interpersonal, intergroup, and particularly, superordinate group, and dual identity levels)

mediate the intergroup contact-bias relationship. CIIM was tested in an Anglo-French

intergroup context with explicit and implicit (IAT) measures of prejudice. Results showed that

the intergroup level partially mediated an increase in bias and all other levels partially mediated

a reduction in bias. Implicit attitude moderated three effects of contact and levels of

categorization on intergroup anxiety. Contact, superordinate and dual identity levels of

categorization were associated with reduced anxiety when implicit bias was high, but not when it

was low.
