 +Four major components to intergroup contact:

 +  * Quantity ​and quality of contact. 
 +  * Cross group friendships are a good measurement. 
 +  * Extended contact should be assessed. 
 +  * Examine social networks and not just dyadic contact.

 //We have subsequently proposed, simply, that group membership must be suffciently salient to ensure generalization but not so salient that it leads to intergroup anxiety or otherwise exacerbates tensions (Hewstone, 1996, p. 333). As our moderated mediation approach emphasizes, participants who are relatively more aware of group memberships. during contact are, in fact, those most likely to benefit from the cumulative, anxiety-reducing eVect of repeated exposure to the out-group (e.g.,​Harwood et al., in press, Study 2; Voci & Hewstone, 2003b, Study 1). Intuitively,​ our sense is that the optimal measure of moderation refers to awareness of group aYliations or perceived typicality of out-group partner(s).

 +==== Mediating variables ====

 +//In its first version, our model emphasized various cognitive processes that we believed would lead to positive (or negative) outcomes of contact (social categorization,​ stereotyping,​ expectancies,​ and attribution processes). This led to our work on the cognitive processes implicated in stereotype changereviewed in Section IV. However, **the subsequent decade (prom*pted by Pettigrew, 1986) saw a gradual shift in emphasis to more affective mediators, starting with intergroup anxiety, which has proved to be a potent variable in several contexts.**//​

 +//**five possible mediators: intergroup anxiety, perspective-taking (empathy?), individuation,​ self-disclosure,​ and accommodation.**//​

 +
 +==== Outcome measures ====
 +
 +
 +//We have found that measures of **intergroup affect (liking), trust, and forgiveness** are all predicted by various kinds of contact, either directly or indirectly.//​
