q2 i? Experimentally assigned SPT strategies impacted accuracy outcomes, with emotion-based inductions more effective in some contexts and situation-writing most effective for reducing in-group favoritism. → Gehlbach 2004

Gehlbach, Hunter. (2004). A New Perspective on Perspective Taking: A Multidimensional Approach to Conceptualizing an Aptitude. Educational Psychology Review 16 (3). https://doi.org/10.1023/B:EDPR.0000034021.12899.11

q2 · i? · review · r2

The review reports Galinsky and Moskowitz's (2000) experiment assigning participants to write essays from an out-group member's perspective, about in-group/out-group similarity, or about their own similar behavior; the perspective-writing manipulation was "the most effective for reducing the favoritism of the in-group over the out-group". No effect size is printed.

"They found that the first of these manipulations was the most effective for reducing the favoritism of the in-group over the out-group."
