Violating American values: a "value congruence" approach to understanding outgroup attitudes

Article Abstract:

A study of how perceived and actual violation of values affects evaluative judgments of stereotyped groups shows that American Whites perceive Blacks as less supportive of values, but not as violating them. Prejudice influences the perceived difference between ingroup and outgroup support or violation of values. Individual and situational differences affect outgroup perception. The pattern for sexual orientation differs from that for race because the stereotype of homosexuality is not associated with the Protestant work ethic.

Categorization and stereotyping: effects of group context on memory and social judgment

Article Abstract:

A study exploring the effects of group context on memory and social judgment was conducted on 333 white undergraduates at the University of Florida in three experiments. Results support the hypothesis that race and attitude position serve as encoding cues resulting in positive evaluations on black targets and that salience of race causes positive ratings for black targets from subjects who are aware of and who reveal negative stereotypes in evaluations.
