| *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. |

| David Broockman and Joshua Kalla conducted an experiment study in South Florida aiming at anti-transgender prejudice. The two tested the effects of intervention and door-to-door canvassing while fostering space to actively listen to all perspectives. Their experiment lasted for 3 months, showing effectiveness and an increase of support with nondiscrimination laws. | | David Broockman and Joshua Kalla conducted an experiment study in South Florida aiming at anti-transgender prejudice.

| Broockman and Kalla introduce the importance of this study is to increase awareness towards transphobia and reduce hate crimes or discrimination against transgenders. They share multiple reasons of why this is important, starting with public health
| |
| | |
| * Reducing transphobia is a public health priority because those who identify as transgender are 25 times at greater risk of abuse, assault, and suicide. This is due to prejudice and preformed traditional opinions, leading to transgenders receiving inhumane treatment and being dismissed.
| |
| | |
| * Reducing transphobia is also a public safety concern, as many portray transgender women as perverts and harmful for using the women's bathroom rather than their assigned sex bathroom.
| |
| | |
| Raising awareness and enhancing individual's perspectives help nondiscrimination laws become implemented and supported more efficiently, while also reducing prejudice opinions.
