Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Negative interactions between groups or their members can create resentment, stereotypes, and other negative perceptions that increase the perceived intergroup conflict. Positive interactions or negotiated interactions, on the other hand, can decrease this perceived conflict. Social and personal interactions may or may not be positive or negative and therefore do not provide a clear answer to the question.
