Why this is here
The exchange cited it for deprovincialization: contact with an outgroup leads one to reappraise one’s own group, seeing its ways as one way among others. The abstract names this process “ingroup reappraisal” and lists “changed behavior” as a process in its own right, which is the Franklin shape: conduct first, and the view revised after. Flag: the word “deprovincialization” is not in the abstract; whether the review uses it is unchecked. Checked 2026-10-29 (NOTE-1408): it does, once (p. 72): optimal contact shows that ingroup norms “turn out not to be the only ways to manage the social world”, which “can reshape your view of your ingroup and lead to a less provincial view of outgroups in general (‘deprovincialization’)”. Bears on CLAIM-275 and CLAIM-417 (a perspective revised by being made one of several).
