This project capitalizes upon current understanding of implicit attitudes in social psychology. The study of implicit processes has been especially prevalent in the area of stereotyping and prejudice where researchers have determined that attitudes and associations activated implicitly may be consistent with or strikingly contradictory to attitudes activated explicitly. For example, White people's explicit attitudes may lead them to espouse egalitarian and non-prejudiced attitudes toward African Americans. However, various cognitive, motivational and social processes can simultaneously lead to negative implicit attitudes and stereotypic associations in relation to African Americans. These associations have been linked to discriminatory outcomes in many domains, including education, psychological health, employment outcomes, medical care, and policing. Therefore, understanding how implicit biases can be changed is critically important not only for advances in our knowledge of attitudes, but also for reducing the pervasive consequences of implicit prejudice. The purpose of the research in this grant is to improve understanding of the potential effectiveness of different strategies for changing implicit attitudes, the time course and persistence of change brought about through these strategies, as well as the underlying processes through which change may be achieved. In addition, the research examines the effects of implicit bias reduction strategies on judgmental and evaluative behavioral outcomes in short and long term contexts, and with respect to interracial interactions. The first set of experiments examines the effectiveness of intergroup bias reduction strategies among Whites. The second set of experiments examines the effects of the change strategies on judgmental and evaluative behavioral outcomes. The final set of experiments focuses on the outcomes of implicit bias change among members of stereotyped groups who have negative implicit biases related to their own group. Ultimately, this research will advance current understanding of the interplay of automatic and controlled processes by providing and testing a framework of implicit bias change.

该项目利用了对社会心理学中隐性态度的当前理解。 对隐式过程的研究在刻板印象和偏见的领域尤为普遍，研究人员确定被隐式激活的态度和关联可能与明确激活态度激活的态度可能是一致的或极其矛盾的。 例如，白人的明确态度可能会导致他们对非裔美国人的平等和非正式的态度拥护平等和非正式的态度。但是，各种认知，动机和社会过程可以同时导致与非裔美国人有关的负面隐性态度和刻板印象。这些关联与许多领域的歧视结果有关，包括教育，心理健康，就业成果，医疗保健和治安。因此，了解隐性偏见如何改变至关重要，这不仅对于我们的态度知识的进步，而且对于减少隐性偏见的普遍后果。 这项赠款中研究的目的是提高人们对改变隐性态度的不同策略的潜在有效性，通过这些策略带来的变化的时间和持久性以及可以实现变化的基本过程。 此外，该研究还研究了隐性偏见策略在短期和长期背景下以及异族互动中的判断和评估行为结果的影响。第一组实验检查了白人之间减少群体间偏置策略的有效性。第二组实验检查了变化策略对判断和评估行为结果的影响。 最后一组实验集中在具有负面隐性偏见的刻板印象群体成员之间的隐性偏见变化的结果上。 最终，这项研究将通过提供和测试隐性偏见变化的框架来提高当前对自动和受控过程相互作用的理解。
