Primes¶
- Cultural Friction
- Backlash implies active rejection of the new in defense of the old; friction produces heterogeneous outcomes—some rejection, some adoption, some creative hybrid forms—the heterogeneity Pettigrew and Tropp (2006) document meta-analytically in their synthesis of intergroup contact research, where contact under appropriate conditions yields integration rather than uniform rejection.
This sourceMeta-analysis of 515 studies establishing that intergroup contact under appropriate conditions reliably reduces prejudice, yielding heterogeneous (often integrative) rather than uniformly rejecting outcomes—the heterogeneity the marker cites.
Supported in partVerified against the publisher's abstract
The abstract supports that contact, especially under Allport's optimal conditions, reliably reduces prejudice, but it documents no typology of rejection, adoption, or creative hybrid outcomes.
“A global indicator of Allport's optimal contact conditions demonstrates that contact under these conditions typically leads to even greater reduction in prejudice.”

- In-Group / Out-Group
- A manager familiar with the superordinate-category result in social psychology can apply it directly to a siloed organization, because the structural problem, two in-groups treating each other as out-groups, is identical.

Supported in partVerified against the publisher's abstract
The abstract supports that intergroup contact reduces prejudice and generalizes across outgroup targets and settings, but says nothing about superordinate-category recategorization or organizational silos.
“These contact effects typically generalize to the entire outgroup, and they emerge across a broad range of outgroup targets and contact settings.”

Verification¶
Does it exist? Confirmed. This work's DOI resolves to a registered record, which fixes its identity. That is all it fixes.
Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 3 of 3 citations: 3 supported in part. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
