mutual intergroup differentiation model
Definition
- The mutual intergroup differentiation model, proposed by Miles Hewstone and Rupert Brown, is an extension of the intergroup contact hypothesis, the proposition that contact between members of different groups will reduce intergroup prejudice. The model states that contact between members of different groups will be most likely to result in positive intergroup relations when those involved embrace their respective group memberships and acknowledge the differences that exist between the groups.
