Outline of Final Research Achievements

Previous studies have showed that people exhibit greater empathy and more helping behavior toward the members of ingroup than those of outgroup. Thus, the problem is how to overcome such a bias. The present studies clearly showed that social contingency between one’s own actions and responses of outgroup members reduced implicit racial bias and promoted helping behaviors toward outgroup members. The present studies also showed that social contingency modulated the perceived distance between self and other.
