According to past research on the contact hypothesis, increased frequency and higher quality of intergroup contact leads to more positive attitudes and social relations between members of higher- and lower-status groups. Contact is most beneficial for highly prejudiced individuals, as indicated by right-wing authoritarianism and ingroup identification, but few other individual differences have been examined as moderators in prior research. This study investigated self-compassion as a potential moderator of intergroup contact on attitudes. Self-compassion is an adaptive quality that reflects how supportive and accepting someone typically feels toward themselves in difficult times. In an intergroup context, it could lead to greater correspondence between one's personal experience of contact and attitudes toward outgroup members. A total of 159 Canadian-born participants with diverse backgrounds and political affiliations were recruited online through Prolific. They responded to an online survey about contact with immigrants (quantity and quality), attitudes towards immigrants, self-compassion, and demographics. In line with the contact hypothesis, this study found an inverse relationship between contact quality and negative attitudes towards immigrants (r = -.51, p = .01). Novel to this research, self-compassion further moderated the relationship between contact quality and negative attitudes (B = -.325, t(153) = -3.467, p = .001), such that this inverse relationship was stronger for participants higher (vs. lower) in self-compassion. Thus, relative to participants lower in self-compassion, those higher in self-compassion reported especially less negative attitudes towards immigrants when contact quality was high, and more negative attitudes when contact quality was low. The findings of this study suggest that individuals with higher (vs. lower) self-compassion may rely more on their personal experiences to inform their attitudes. In contexts where high-quality intergroup contact experiences with immigrants are likely (e.g., welcomes, festivals, celebrations), fostering self-compassion may accelerate the development of positive intergroup attitudes.
