TL;DR: It is suggested that training may not affect the speed with which stereotype-incongruent targets are processed but that it does affect the ultimate decision (particularly the placement of the decision criterion), and findings from a study in which a college sample received training support this conclusion.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Role of Afrocentric Features in Person Perception: Judging by Features and Categories
TL;DR: The hypothesis that group-related physical features may directly activate related stereotypes, leading to more stereotypic inferences over and above those resulting from categorization, was tested.
Journal ArticleDOI
The World Is Not Black and White: Racial Bias in the Decision to Shoot in a Multiethnic Context
TL;DR: This article examined implicit race biases in the decision to shoot potentially hostile targets in a multiethnic context and found that the accuracy of decisions to shoot was higher for Black and Latino targets than for White and Asian targets.
Journal ArticleDOI
Stereotypes of mental disorders differ in competence and warmth.
TL;DR: It is shown that the stereotype content that underlies public stigma toward individual mental illnesses is not the same for all disorders, which may improve the efficacy of interventions to counteract public stigma.
Journal ArticleDOI
Understanding Police and Expert Performance When Training Attenuates (vs. Exacerbates) Stereotypic Bias in the Decision to Shoot
TL;DR: When race is unrelated to the presence/absence of a weapon, training may eliminate bias as participants learn to focus on diagnostic object information, but when training actually promotes the utility of racial cues, it may sustain the heuristic use of stereotypes.
