Question

question 7 (1 point)
according to oliver and wong (2003), interethnic proximity in diverse neighborhoods tends to:
heighten racial hostility
lower out - group prejudice through contact
produce greater segregation
strengthen stereotypes
question 8 (1 point)
the \equal status\ condition in allports theory means that:
each group must have identical cultural values
all participants interact as peers without hierarchy
one group mentors the other
there must be economic equality between nations
question 9 (1 point)
oliver and wong (2003) concluded that integration:
strengthens ethnic isolation
can alleviate ethnic antagonism through proximity and contact
leads to cultural assimilation
reduces empathy among groups

Explanation:

• Question 7: The contact hypothesis in social psychology suggests that inter - ethnic proximity can lead to reduced prejudice. Oliver and Wong (2003) likely draw on this. Heightening racial hostility, producing greater segregation, and strengthening stereotypes are more likely outcomes of negative or no contact, not proximity in diverse neighborhoods.
• Question 8: Allport's contact hypothesis emphasizes that for positive inter - group contact, equal status means that all participants interact as peers without a hierarchical power dynamic. Having identical cultural values is not about status. One group mentoring the other implies a hierarchy, and economic equality between nations is too broad (the theory is more about group interactions within a society).
• Question 9: Integration, when based on the principles of the contact hypothesis (proximity and contact), can alleviate ethnic antagonism. Strengthening ethnic isolation is the opposite of integration. Cultural assimilation is a different concept (where one group takes on the culture of another), and reducing empathy among groups is not a positive outcome of integration.

Answer:

• Question 7: Lower out - group prejudice through contact
• Question 8: All participants interact as peers without hierarchy
• Question 9: Can alleviate ethnic antagonism through proximity and contact
