Ego-depletion and prejudice: Separating automatic and controlled components

Article Abstract:

A study was conducted to investigate the effect of ego-depletion on the automatic and controlled components of stereotype-based responses. Results indicated that ego-depletion reduced the controlled component of responses, but did not affect the automatic component and ego-depletion increased stereotypical responses only among those who showed strong automatic stereotype activation.
