Todd, A. R., & Galinsky, A. D. (2014). Perspective‐Taking as a Strategy for Improving Intergroup Relations: Evidence, Mechanisms, and Qualifications. Social and Personality Psychology Compass, 8(7), 374–387. https://doi.org/10.1111/spc3.12116
This 2014 article by Todd and Galinsky reviews research on perspective-taking – actively considering others' viewpoints – as a method for improving intergroup relations. The authors examine the evidence showing that perspective-taking leads to more positive evaluations of outgroups, both implicitly and explicitly, and influences behavioural changes, such as increased helping and approach-oriented actions. They explore underlying mechanisms, including empathy and shifts in attributional thinking, and discuss qualifications based on individual differences and contextual factors. Finally, the article suggests avenues for future research in this area.
