Sammanfattning
As the diversity of society increases, arenas that enable intergroup contacts
are increasingly central to social cohesion. The study investigates whether
there are contacts between groups that differ from each other within civil
society organizations and if the contacts correlate with higher trust and
tolerance toward outgroups. The study is based on a survey directed to 10200
individuals in 36 Swedish municipalities. Intergroup contacts in civil society
organizations occur to varying degree. The results point to the importance of
contacts being perceived as positive for trust and tolerance between groups.
The results are in line with previous studies that that indicate that younger
respondents are more likely to perceive intergroup contacts as positive.
