*A Research Report on the reduction of intergroup prejudice, focused on Transphobia, doing so through the use of active perspective-taking. Brockman and Kalla wanted to test the success of using the method of door to door canvassing (a direct interpersonal contact) in reducing transphobia by having Participants be exposed to both transgender and cisgender people and engaging in conversations with them that revolved around trans rights. The participants were then contacted months later to test if their views had remained the same after the conversation had taken place. In the end of the study it was found that there did seem to be a connection between interpersonal contact and transgender views since the study found that transphobia went down after having a conversation with a transgender person and it also stayed down in the many months after the conversation had taken place. On the other hand, no big difference was found when cisgender people were having the conversations. | *A Research Report on the reduction of intergroup prejudice, focused on Transphobia, doing so through the use of active perspective-taking.
