Irrepressible stereotypes
Article Abstract:
People's judgements are affected by stereotypes, despite the efforts to bar such influence. A study on samples, asked to judge the career goals of gender-typical and -atypical males and females, shows that the reduction in the dependence on categorical information may not increase dependence on individuating information. Judgments of people are less influenced by stereotypes when the people are told about the lack of a valid basis for the information they are being presented with. People also rely less on stereotypes when they anticipate that explanations for their judgment have to be given.
