Automatic stereotypes vs. automatic prejudice: sorting out the possibities in the Payne (2001) weapon paradigm

Article Abstract:

Payne (2001) reported that the African-American faces facilitate the categorization of both handguns and sports-related objects. Studies indicate that when perceivers are attempting to identify objects, automatic stereotypic associations, both positively and negatively valenced ones, are more influential than general negative sentiments towards African-Americans.
