Entertainment-education interventions (aka edutainment interventions) attempt to create social change by embedding content in entertainment programs intended to change viewer’s attitudes, norms, and / or behavior. In this research, we will test whether entertainment-education interventions that portray the challenges and successes of intergroup interactions can decrease intergroup animosity and improve intergroup relations. We also aim to test whether narratives are more effective when they include an explicit acknowledgement of intergroup anxiety vs. no mention of intergroup anxiety. Finally, we aim to test whether entertainment-education interventions are more effective in reducing intergroup animosity when consumed alone vs. with others. This research will be conducted with a sample of Christians (n = 2500) in Kaduna, Nigeria, a region with a history of tension and conflict between Christians and Muslims.
