Abstract

Currently, there exist multiple primary theoretical frameworks for examining cross-group contact, specifically inter-group contact theory, social identity theory, and information decision theory. These frameworks elucidate the circumstances, expressions, and outcomes of cross-ethnic interactions from varying vantage points. This study critically evaluates and critiques the aforementioned theories, contending that inter-group contact theory inadequately addresses the non-attitudinal ramifications of ethnic contact in comparison to social identity theory and information decision theory.
