Abstract
Both Anglo-French and Mexican-American relations are embedded in histories of conflict. Within
these intergroup contexts, two longitudinal field studies of contact tested Pettigrew’s (1998)
reformulated model of the intergroup contact theory and Gaertner and Dovidio’s (2000) Common
Ingroup Identity Model (CIIM). In Pettigrew’s model, intergroup friendship is accorded a special role
and the contact-bias relation is mediated by changing behaviour, ingroup reappraisal, generating
affective ties, and learning about the outgroup. Pettigrew’s integration of the three central models of
contact generalization into a time-sequence holds that contact first elicits decategorization, then
salient categorization, and finally recategorization. In the CIIM, these three levels of categorization—
plus a fourth, dual identity—are conceptualized to be mediators in the contact-bias relation. Results
point to the crucial importance of intergroup friendship and underline the mediating roles of learning
about the outgroup, behaviour modification, and generating affective ties, but not ingroup reappraisal
in Pettigrew’s model. As for the CIIM, in Study 1 interpersonal and intergroup levels were most
central, while in Study 2 the dual identity and superordinate group levels were most effective. The
implications of the findings are discussed with reference to the likely stability of these effects in
different intergroup contexts.
