N2 - This study evaluates a cognitive intervention aimed at improving relations between ethnic groups in general, and between Israelis and Egyptians in particular. The intervention comprised a specially designed booklet about Egypt for Israeli tourists, given to them before their visit to that country. The intervention group included 352 Israeli tourists; 131 other Israeli tourists were not exposed to the booklet. Both groups toured Egypt, and both groups were given before‐and‐after questionnaires measuring interethnic attitudes. The measures revealed changes as a result of the tour itself and additional changes related to the booklet. The results are discussed regarding their contribution to interethnic attitude change. 1985 The Society for the Psychological Study of Social Issues
