Abstract
Intergroup contact is robustly associated with lower prejudice. However, nearly all contact research to date has examined a narrow range of groups, raising the possibility that its effects are restricted to only some types of groups. Across two studies (total N = 2163), we tested whether the contact-prejudice relationship was identical for a broad sample of groups (k = 80), whether group properties moderated this relationship, and whether the relationship depended on the type of intergroup contact. Results indicate that contact was consistently associated with lower prejudice across all groups, group properties, and measures of contact. Together, our results broadly support intergroup contact theory: contact is negatively associated with prejudice across groups with a wide array of distinct group properties.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
