文摘

We test the role of inter-group contact in different types of space for ethno-religious prejudice reduction. Spaces of encounter are divided into private, public, consumption, institutional and socialisation. We use a representative survey from 2012 with majority populations in Leeds and Warsaw. In each city encounters in different spaces are associated with more tolerant attitudes towards ethno-religious outgroups. Contact in quasi-public spaces is in a significant and positive relationship with acceptance of minority neighbours.
