2 Empirical Foundations of ABPRA as a reconciliation approach 1. Japanese Morita therapy • Systematic review of therapeutic benefits (Minami, 2011) • Conclusion: Therapeutic benefits of Action/interaction taking 2. Contact theory • Meta-analysis (Pettigrew & Tropp, 2006) • 515 studies covering 713 independent samples • Conclusion: Interactions meeting particular contact conditions are likely to reduce inter-group prejudice. ABPRA as a practical synthesis • Minami, M. (2018). ABPRA – Intervention Protocol. Simon Fraser University.
