Abstract

Scholars interested in studying the effects of online intergroup contact on reducing prejudice are increasing. However, there is still a lack of evidence on the implications of the Self. The present study aims to fill this gap, considering the Dialogical Self as theoretical framework. It explored which clusters of I-Positions emerged during online intergroup dialogue, and whether and to what extent these clusters related with contact quality and prejudice. Data was collected from eight undergraduate students (females: 4; Mage = 23.63, SDage = 4.00), from majority (i.e., Italians; n = 4) and minority (i.e., non-Italians; n = 4). A pre- and postdialogue procedure was administered. Results suggested the existence of four clusters with Scholars interested in studying the effects of online intergroup contact on reducing prejudice are increasing.
