The paper presents an application of a mixed-methods design in the study of interethnic attitudes (prejudice). Its goal is to analyze the relationship between attitudes towards the Roma and contacts with members of this group. Both quantitative and qualitative empirical material is used here and methodologically, the analysis presented seeks to verify the applicability, limits and usefulness of mixed methods for prejudice research. Theoretically, the text is based on the contact hypothesis, which mainly holds that contacts with members of a  group that is targeted by prejudice lower the level of prejudice towards the group as a whole. It was formulated by Gordon Allport in the 1950s and developed later by authors like Thomas Pettigrew or Linda Tropp. The premises of the contact hypothesis are applied in the case of attitudes towards the Roma in the Czech Republic. Mixed-methods design provides the methodological framework for this study. A secondary analysis of quantitative surveys (by the Public Opinion Research Centre) is followed (enriched and deepened) by a primary analysis of qualitative semi-structured interviews with a  purposive sample of members of the Czech majority. This mixed design is intended to achieve more comprehensive and convincing results compared to a single-method (either qualitative or quantitative) approach. K E Y W O R D S :
