As expected, findings posited that increased contact frequency and the willingness to cooperate with Muslims were indeed significantly related to increases of positive evaluations of Muslims. Additionally, the willingness to cooperate acted as a moderator of the effect of intergroup contact frequency on the evaluation of Muslims, having a facilitative effect. The present study attests to the effectiveness of the facilitative conditions through direct contact, as depicted by Allport’s (1954) intergroup contact theory.Show less
