Saying no to negativity: The effects of context and motivation to control prejudice on automatic evaluative responses

Article Abstract:

A research explored the interaction of context and motivation to control prejudice reactions (MCPR) on automatic evaluative responses toward individuals of different rates. The results indicate that even at the automatic level, people high in motivation to control prejudice can inhibit negative responses toward African Americans in contexts that have cues associated with prejudice.
