No effect

31
Q

What was found when the candidate was black when investigating Modern Racism?

Higher modern racism- more ambivalence
People high in MR more willing to hire the black candidate in a positive context and less likely in a negative context

32
Q

What did participants low in MR show when investigating Modern Racism?

33
Q

Why does Maas et al say that modern racism measures need to be constantly updated?

They rely on political discourse

34
Q

A

By political conservatism

35
Q

What is the aim of self-report scales in measuring modern racism?

A

To explicitly assess subtleties

36
Q

What is the problem with using self-report scales to measure modern racism?

A

They may be influenced by socially desirable responses

37
Q

How is racist behaviour investigated?

A

Through experimental scenarios resembling everyday life to observe real interactions

38
Q

What 3 types of racist behaviour are typically investigated?

A
  1. Social behaviour

It didn’t matter whether participants were high or low in prejudice, they gave less help when experimenter was black and there was diffusion of responsibility

42
Q

A single episode

43
Q

A

A permanent characteristic

Abstract behaviour attribution significantly higher for outgroup, concrete behaviour attribution significantly higher for ingroup
No difference between high and low prejudice individuals

46
Q

What do Wilson & Dunn (2004) argue is the problem with measuring modern prejudice?

Cognitive processes aren’t clearly linked to observed behaviour

47

Q

Why is measuring modern prejudice context dependent?

Effects are moderated by intersectional, contextual, and relational factors

A

A black or white patient needing thrombolysis treatment- how likely they were to be offered the treatment

Q

What did Green et al (2007) find?

A

Implicit bias predicted differences in offering treatment, but not explicit bias
There was a higher implicit bias towards black patients

57
Q

A

No (r= .28, r=.14)

58
Q
A
59
Q

Why might implicit bias measures not show stability over time?
