Answer to Question 1

Symbolic interactionists examine how microlevel contacts between

people may produce either greater racial tolerance or increased levels of

hostility. In the contact hypothesis, symbolic interactionists point out that

contact between people from divergent groups should lead to favorable

attitudes and behavior when certain factors are present. Members of

each group must (1) have equal status, (2) pursue the same goals, (3)

cooperate with one another to achieve their goals, and (4) receive

positive feedback when they interact with one another in positive,

nondiscriminatory ways. When individuals meet someone who does not

conform to their existing stereotype, they frequently ignore anything that

contradicts the stereotype, or they interpret the situation to support their

prejudices. Symbolic interactionist perspective make us aware of the

importance of intergroup contact and the fact that it may either intensify or

reduce racial and ethnic stereotyping and prejudice.
