      abstract = {Few researchers have investigated how contact across the  lifespan influences racial bias and whether diversity of  contact is beneficial regardless of the race of the  perceiver. This research aims to address these gaps in the  literature with a focus on how diversity in childhood and  current contact shapes implicit racial bias across  perceivers’ racial group. In two investigations,  participants completed an Implicit Association Test and a  self-report measure of the racial diversity of their  current and childhood contact. In both studies, increased  contact with Black compared with White individuals, both in  childhood (Study 2) and currently (Studies 1 and 2), was  associated with reduced implicit pro-White racial bias. For  Black individuals (Study 2) more contact with Black  compared with White individuals also was associated with  reduced implicit pro-White racial bias. These findings  suggest that diversity in contact across the lifespan may  be related to reductions in implicit racial biases and that  this relationship may generalize across racial groups.},
