Familiarity can increase stereotyping
Article Abstract:
Two experiments revealed repeated exposure to information about a target person reduces individuation and thereby increases stereotyping of the target person based on social group memberships. The first experiment demonstrated that a brief former exposure to a subset of information about a target person could increase stereotyping of that target, even in the presence of counter-stereotypic individuating information.

On the inexplicability of the implicit differences in the information provided by implicit and explicit tests
Article Abstract:
An experiment is conducted to investigate the relation between implicit and explicit measures of person impressions. It is suggested that implicit measures reflect simple associations stored in a 'slow-learning' memory system while explicit measure reflect a combination of these associations stored in 'fist-binding' memory system.

Overlapping mental representations of self and in-group: reaction time evidence and its relationship with explicit measures of group identification
Article Abstract:
Issues are discussed regarding possible overlapping of cognitive representations of the self and in-group. By extension, the match/mismatch reaction time effect is found to extend to attitudes as well as to traits, and the size of this effect correlates positively with several explicit measures of group identification.
