Abstract | A mediated intergroup contact using three transgender individuals’ reported memories was experimentally evaluated. Participants (N = 172) completed an online questionnaire measuring their prior contact with transgender people, the narrative transportation induced by the vignettes they read, their intergroup anxiety levels post-intervention, future contact intentions (FCI), and how “warm” they felt toward transgender individuals. Results for the pre-registered analysis, while slim, provoked exploratory analysis that discovered that the intervention decreased men’s warmth and FCI, while increasing women’s. |
