Abstract
We tested whether imagined intergroup contact can improve intergroup behavior among elementary school children. Results revealed that Italian children who imagined an intergroup encounter displayed more positive prosocial behavior than those in a control condition. Moreover, this effect was strengthened when a superordinate categorization during the imagery task was salient.
