AB  - In 6 studies, we systematically explored for the 1st time the ameliorative effects of multicultural experience on intergroup bias and invested the role of epistemic unfreezing as the motivational mechanism underlying these effects.  We found that multicultural exposure led to a reduction in stereotype endorsement.  The beneficial effects of multiculturalism  were found regardless of the targeted stereotype group (African Americans, Ethiopians, homosexuals, and native Israelis), regardless of whether multicultural experience was measured or manipulated, and regardless of the population samples (Caucasian Americans or native Israelis), demonstrating the robustness of this phenomenon.  Overall, these results demonstrate that multicultural experience plays a critical role in increasing social tolerance through its relationship to motivated cognitive processes. - (from the authors).
