Arab Students' Attitudes toward and Amount of Social Contact with Americans: A Causal Process Analysis of Cross-Sectional Data.

Alreshoud, Abdullah; Koeske, Gary F.

Journal of Social Psychology, v137 n2 p235-45 Apr 1997

Studies the relationship between attitudes toward Americans and social contact with Americans by Arab students at U.S. universities. Uses causal process-analysis and path analysis to show that desire for contact significantly mediated between attitude and contact, and that social contact was not significantly mediated by understanding of the host country.
