On resisting the temptation for simplification: counterintentional effects of stereotype suppression on social memory

Article Abstract:

Individuals demonstrate a higher recall for unwanted stereotype material after experiencing a period of stereotype suppression. This stereotype suppression is a laborious and stressful mental process. It also reduces attentional resources available for processing goal-related data. However, the suppression increases the influence of stereotype-based recollections on the individual's evaluations. The tendency to make judgements is more pronounced in stereotype suppressors than in stereotype users, as the former have poorer but more stereotypic knowledge of the target than the latter.
