Psychologist Angela Bahns speaks on how the goal of fostering diverse friendships might best be realized. Research in support of the Contact Hypothesis suggests that exposure to people who are different from ourselves can be an effective strategy for reducing prejudice. And yet research on attraction demonstrates that people often prefer to form friendships with similar others. Using survey-based field methods and multilevel analysis, my lab investigated how individual-level factors such as valuing diversity and community-level factors such population size and human diversity predicts attitudinally diverse friendship information. We found that valuing diversity predicts attitudinally diverse friendships in small, homogeneous settings, and attitudinally similar friendships in large, diverse settings. Valuing diversity may only promote attitudinally diverse friendships in small, homogeneous communities; with greater friendship choice, comes more fine-grained attitude assortment.
