One of the most important theories of social psychology, developed by researcher Gordon Allport in his famous 1954 book “The Nature of Prejudice”, aims to explain how direct interaction between people from different social groups can help reduce the level of prejudice, destroy stereotypes and limit discrimination. The contact hypothesis emphasizes that direct experience and real human interaction between people from different groups can serve as a bridge to breaking stereotypes, strengthening mutual understanding and building a more just and tolerant society. However, it is not a magic cure; An enabling environment and supportive policies are needed to achieve sustainable results.
