Table 1.

Unstandardized estimates (SE in brackets) for the contextual effect (studies 1a–1e) and the contextual effect controlling for norms (studies 1a, 1d, and 1e)

All estimates are controlled for between-country differences in variables.

The contextual effect for all groups is reported; due to sample sizes, further differentiation by ethnic group was not possible.

§

The indirect effect reflects the effect of contact on prejudice via norms (assessed as diversity beliefs) on the social context level, and indicates whether the contextual effect is significantly reduced after controlling for norms on the social context level.
