Implicit versus explicit impression formation: the differing effects of overt labeling and covert priming on memory and impressions

Article Abstract:

Two experiments were conducted to investigate the individual and combined effects of covert primng and overt labeling on memory and impressions. Results showed that overt labeling improved recall of items incompatible with a given concept. On the other hand, covert priming resulted in improved recall of items compatible with the concept. Combination of the two further improved the recall of incompatible items. These results indicate that different memories and impressions are formed depending on the presentation of the concept.

Hoist on your own petard: When prejudiced remarks are recognized and backfire on speakers

Article Abstract:

The research was conducted to explore when people recognize prejudice in those people who make bigoted remarks and whether such expressions backfire to harm those who express them. The findings suggest that people attribute prejudice to speakers who make stereotypical generalizations about either ascribed or assumed groups, but have more difficulty recognizing prejudice in those who express positive stereotypes.

Article Abstract:

Two experiments that were designed to determine whether symbols have trait-specific effects on impressions are described. Both experiments showed that symbol effects are specific to the traits implied to symbols and not just a reflection to global evaluative influences like conditioning.
