The imagined contact hypothesis is a way to reduce prejudice whereby the mental simulation, or imagining, of a positive social interaction with an outgroup member leads to increased positive attitudes and improved group dynamics^[1]. The theory was developed and tested in 2007 by Rhiannon Turner, Richard Crisp, and Emily Lambert. Numerous studies have demonstrated the Imagined Contact Hypothesis’s effectiveness for improving attitudes towards and intergroup relations with a wide variety of group including religious minorities ^[2], the mentally ill ^[3], ethnic and sexual minorities ^[4] ^[1], and obese individuals ^[5].
