AMHERST, Mass. – When different groups of people come into contact, what’s the key to motivating advantaged racial groups to join historically disadvantaged racial minority groups to strive for racial equality and social justice? It’s a complex conundrum studied for years by social scientists like Linda Tropp, professor of social psychology at the University of Massachusetts Amherst.
Her latest research, published in the International Journal of Intercultural Relations, tested and supported Tropp and colleagues’ proposition that having open communication about group differences is a crucial pathway.
