A
(2025·河北唐山联考)
Marilynn Moe,80,is a resident of the Homestead,a senior-living and care community in Rochester,Minnesota,managed by Mark.
Mark fell for Marilynn's charm in 2012,the day he came to interview for the job. He was standing in the hallway,hoping he didn't look as nervous as he felt,when a stylishly dressed woman walked right up to him. “Good morning,” she said. “I'm Marilynn. I hope everything works out for you.” She gave him such a warm smile that he couldn't help but smile back,nerves forgotten.
He got the job,and it didn't take long for him to realize what a treasure Marilynn was. She'd arrived herself only two years before,moving from Fargo. It was a huge change. She loved teaching,seeing her students' skills and confidence grow. Would she find something as fulfilling at the Homestead?
“I could have just sat in my apartment,” she says,“but I wasn't going to do that.”
Marilynn noticed that most people kept to themselves and didn't know much about their neighbors,so she started a monthly newcomers' get-together. One by one they'd go around the circle and share a fun fact about themselves as an icebreaker.
She went to the monthly women's breakfast. To her disappointment,only three or four others showed up. She took over,each month lining up one of the residents to give a talk about a special interest,trips they'd taken,former careers,even more weighty topics. She personally invited women to attend. It wasn't long before the room was packed.
She gave out birthday cards,using the Homestead's monthly newsletter to get the dates. She played the piano for church services and special occasions.
Marilynn didn't notice anything different about the Homestead,but others did. “These changes you're making are great,” the residents would tell Mark. “Keep it up.” Mark knew he wasn't the one who deserved the credit. Marilynn wasn't trying to become a noticeable figure. She cared deeply about the people around her,doing so naturally and without intending to seek recognition.

There's a long line of research showing that when we make contact with people who're socially different from us,we tend to feel less prejudice towards them. According to the contact theory,contact seems to work best for reducing prejudice when the contact is generally positive. But what happens when the conditions for interpersonal contact may not be ideal? For example,what if you feel threatened in some way by a group of people you see as “the other”?
Researchers from Ghent University in Belgium analyzed the results of 34 studies surveying nearly 64,000 people from 19 countries to see how intergroup contact affected their viewpoints about “outgroups” under conflict situations. For example,people were asked to report on how they viewed other groups. The researchers also had data from the surveys that measured attitudes towards outgroup members,such as how positive people felt towards them and how much they could trust them.
After analyzing the data,the researchers found strong feelings of threat were associated with more negative views of outgroup members. But having contact with outgroup members still reduced prejudice just as much under those unfavorable conditions. To Jasper Van Assche,the lead author of the paper,this suggests contact theory holds even under conflict situations.
Van Assche says that contact is so powerful probably because just being around people from an outgroup affects how we think and feel about them. As we become accustomed to even the mere presence of people from other groups,that can reduce our anxiety,especially if the encounters are positive—and that can lead to warmer feelings. Also,contact can enhance our knowledge about others' customs and practices,so that they don't seem so foreign or “other” to us.
Van Assche hopes his research can lead people to see the benefits of integrating the spaces where they live. This could be done through top-down methods,such as the government requiring school integration,but also from the bottom up. For example,Van Assche suggests communities could create low-cost,low-key events that bring people together,helping to promote tolerance.
