Abstract
The enhancement of social inclusion is a key to maintaining cohesion in society
and to foster the benefits of cultural diversity. Using insights from the Dual
Identity Model (DIM) with a special focus on active categorization, we develop
an intervention to increase social inclusion. Our intervention encourages the
participants to (re-)categorize on a superordinate level (i.e., a human identity)
while being exposed to their own culture. Across a set of experiments, we test
the efficacy of our intervention against control conditions on the effect of
social inclusion, measured by perceived social distance. Results show an
increase in cultural closeness and provide preliminary support for the use of a
DIM-based intervention to increase intercultural inclusion
