Answer to Question 1

Both heuristics are simple rules for making complex decisions or drawing inferences in a rapid and efficient manner. The representative heuristic involves making a decision based on how similar something is a to a given group. The availability heuristic involves making a decision based on how easily it is to bring certain information to mind.

Answer to Question 2

The contact hypothesis is the view that increased contact between members of various social groups can be effective in reducing prejudice between them. Increased contact between people from different groups can lead to a growing recognition of similarities between them, which can change the categorizations that people employ.
