A survey (N = 352) was conducted among British passengers of a cross-channel ferry. The survey
aimed to test hypotheses drawn from Realistic Group Conflict, Social Identity and Contact
theories using mainly a correlational design. However, an intervention by members of the
outgroup (French fishermen blockading a port) also allowed a quasi-experimental test of the
effects of a direct experience of intergroup conflict. Results supported the hypotheses since
conflict and national identification were associated with more negative and with less positive
attitudes toward the outgroup, while contact had the reverse effects. In addition, the salience of
group membership in the contact relationship weakly moderated the effect of contact
