In an experiment, 288 undergraduate students imagined a conversation with an older target who was presented either positively or negatively. The positively valenced older adult was seen as being more representative of older people in general (high fit), and this link was stronger for those with more past positive and fewer past negative communication experiences. Fit moderated the effects of imagined interaction valence on intentions for future intergroup contact. A positive older partner perceived as fitting the category \u201colder people\u201d resulted in greater intention to communicate with older people in the future than a negative partner; individuals who saw their partner as atypical showed the reverse pattern\u2014they were less likely to report intentions for future intergenerational contact after a positive than a negative manipulated interaction. The findings demonstrate that negative intergroup communication can, at times, have positive effects, and positive contact can have negative effects.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/0093650214565926","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,1,19]],"date-time":"2015-01-19T23:41:42Z","timestamp":1421710902000},"page":"530-555","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":26,"title":["Effects of Past and Present Intergroup Communication on Perceived Fit of an Outgroup Member and Desire for Future Intergroup Contact"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"44","author":[{"given":"Jake","family":"Harwood","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Arizona, Tucson, AZ, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nicholas","family":"Joyce","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Maryland, College Park, MD, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Chien-Yu","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Arizona, Tucson, AZ, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Stefania","family":"Paolini","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The University of Newcastle, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jun","family":"Xiang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Arizona, Tucson, AZ, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mark","family":"Rubin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The University of Newcastle, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2015,1,19]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-0093650214565926","volume-title":"The nature of prejudice","author":"Allport G.
