dc.description.abstractThe contact hypothesis asserts that contact between groups can lead to a reduction in prejudiced attitudes if such contact occurs under favourable conditions. Yet, in desegregated settings where a fair amount of interracial contact is expected to occur, the problem of "illusory contact" persists. In these contexts, the appearance of integration is undermined by de facto segregation. The present research investigated the resilience of segregation as an informal mechanism for reinstating racial boundaries, in the absence of official policies on racial separation. Two studies and a multi-method approach were employed.en_ZA
