question 61

Essay

Imagine an experiment in which the participants are shown a series of photographs of adults and are asked to give their first impressions of these adults by pressing one button to indicate that they like the person and a different button to indicate that they do not like the person. Half the participants are given as much time as they want to make their judgments and the other half are required to respond within 500 ms. Half the photographs are of people belonging to a negatively stereotyped racial minority. Both the response (like vs. do not like) and the response time are recorded. Given the results of Payne's (2001) research on stereotyping, what results would you predict? Why?
