Contact theory proposes that interactions between ethnicities will reduce prejudice as long as certain conditions exist. What are these conditions?
Answer: D - In order for interaction between ethnicities to lower prejudice, those involved must be of an equal class, the contact cannot be short-term only, and both sides must agree on an idea of equality. Two co-workers of different ethnicities who work together for some time and treat one another with equal respect will lower their prejudices. If, however, one ethnicity employs the other and maintains a different social class, it will be more difficult to put aside prejudices.
