Abstract: Little attention has been paid to migrant elderly people in psychological study, not to mention the study of the relationship between intergroup contact and the happiness of migrant elderly people. In the present study, the general intergroup contact quantity and contact quality scale, the intergroup contact scale, the Memorial University of Newfoundland scale of happiness, and the positive affect and negative affect scale were administrated to a sample of 178 migrant elderly and 62 local elderly in Changping district, Beijing to explore the relationship between intergroup contact and happiness. Results showed that (1) there was a significant asymmetry in intergroup contact between migrant elderly people and local elderly people. Compared with the local elderly people, the migrant elderly people showed significantly high intergroup contact quantity and willingness, but there was no significant difference of intergroup contact feeling between the both groups; (2) intergroup contact quality significantly predicted the happiness level of the migrant elderly people; (3) intergroup contact also significantly predicted the happiness and positive emotion of the local elderly people.
