Classic person perception models argue that group information (e.g., group valence) dominates impression formation, especially in less-than-optimal conditions. But is this really the case?

There is a robust link between intergroup contact & reduced prejudice, but does contact actually cause a reduction in prejudice?
Across multiple longitudinal data sets (N > 20,000), very few people reported increased contact AND reduced prejudice.
