Measurement of subtyping in stereotype change
Article Abstract:
Issues concerning the best way to measure subtyping, as it relates to defining those who do not conform to a group stereotype, are examined. Topics include different kinds of subtyping measures such as sorting, typicality ratings, clustering in free recall, memory confusion tasks, trait sorts, and open-ended description of subtypes; and the conclusion that three measures used collectively can identify subtypes and still maintain a definition for stereotype.

Effects of racial stereotypes on judgements of individuals: the moderating role of perceived group variability
Article Abstract:
Perceived variability changes the effects of social stereotypes. Stereotypicality has a positive effect on trait judgment of individuals. People who view Blacks more stereotypically as a group also judge individual Black children in a stereotypic manner. Dispersion has a negative influence on confidence judgments. However, perceived stereotypicality has no effect on the confidence of judging group members.

Stereotypes, prejudice, and judgements of group members: the mediating role of public policy decisions
Article Abstract:
Public policy judgements directed at a stereotyped group depend on the extremity of one's stereotype and the level of expressed prejudice. The stereotypicality and prejudice measures reliably predict the public policy judgements across all policy issues, for both gays and welfare recipients. Thus, stereotypes affect judgements of individuals through their effect on policy stances, even in the presence of individuating information.
