"Secondary Transfer Effect of Contact: Do Intergroup Contact Effects Spread to

Noncontacted Outgroups" by Thomas F. Pettigrew is a research article that explores the
possibility of secondary transfer effects of intergroup contact on non-contacted outgroups.
Here's a brief outline of the main sections and concepts covered in the article:
Introduction: The article begins with a discussion on intergroup contact and its positive
effects on prejudice reduction. It also introduces the concept of secondary transfer effects,
which refer to the possibility of contact effects spreading from one group to another, even if
they do not have direct contact.
Literature review: This section provides an overview of the existing literature on intergroup
contact and its effects on prejudice reduction. It also discusses the theoretical mechanisms
behind the contact hypothesis and the potential boundary conditions of intergroup contact.
Methodology: The article then describes the methodology used to test the hypothesis of
secondary transfer effects. The study involved a survey of 1,821 participants from six
different European countries.
Results: This section presents the results of the study, which found evidence of secondary
transfer effects of intergroup contact. The study found that positive contact with one
outgroup was associated with reduced prejudice toward another outgroup, even if there
was no direct contact between the two groups.
Discussion: The article concludes with a discussion on the implications of the findings for
intergroup relations and prejudice reduction. It suggests that intergroup contact may be a
powerful tool for promoting social harmony and reducing prejudice not only within but also
between groups. It also highlights the need for further research on the mechanisms and
boundary conditions of secondary transfer effects.
Overall, "Secondary Transfer Effect of Contact: Do Intergroup Contact Effects Spread to

Noncontacted Outgroups" provides an important contribution to the literature on
intergroup contact and prejudice reduction, highlighting the potential for positive effects to
spread beyond direct contact between groups.
