The linguistic intergroup bias as an implicit indicator of prejudice

Article Abstract:

Three experiments were conducted to test the linguistic intergroup bias as an implied indicator of prejudice. Experiments 1 and 2 required subjects to evaluate a videotaped interaction between an African-American man and a Caucasian male and the third experiment measured subjects' response to selected female-stereotypic articles. Results indicate that reactions to certain group members are influenced by implicit measures of prejudice based on biased processing.

Biased processing of stereotype-incongruency is greater for low than high status groups

Article Abstract:

A study is conducted to test whether biased attributional processing of stereotype-inconsistent information would more likely to emerge in response to targets from a group commonly perceived as low in social status of women relative to those from a higher social status group of men. However, the processing biases emerge most strongly when members of lower social status groups engage in behaviors inconsistent with their group stereotypes
