Should Out-Group Members Communicate Factual Message in Order to Foster a Sense of Proximity?
Perceived dissimilarity is peripheral to resistance to out-group members and negatively affects the evaluations of out-group members. However, the negative effect of perceived dissimilarity on evaluations will be diminished when out-group members share a type of message (in this case factual message) that signals personality traits such as trustworthiness.
