| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, we investigated the influence of international exchange via Social Networking Services (SNS) on reducing prejudices. In study 1, we conducted a four-wave Web-based longitudinal survey, and this showed that prejudice was reduced not only by direct contact interacting with foreign users via SNS but also by indirect contact through one’s friends interacting with foreigners.
In study 2, we conducted an international exchange program via SNS, and evaluated its educational effects through experimentation. The results showed that one’s impression of foreigners improved more for the direct-contact and indirect-contact groups than for the control group and more for the direct-contact group than for the indirect-contact group. On the other hand, the prior acquisition of knowledge regarding interaction appeared to have no effect, and this suggests that sufficient effects may be achieved even with no preparation prior to the interaction.
