以警察和大学生为被试，在5项研究中考察了刻板印象联想对视觉加工的影响。研究一表明，黑脸会影响参与者自发地检测犯罪相关物体的退化图像的能力。相反，研究2-4表明，激活抽象概念(即，犯罪和篮球)会导致对黑人男性面孔的注意偏向。此外，这些加工偏差可能与社会群体成员在身体上代表社会群体的程度有关(研究4-5)。总而言之，这些研究表明，社会群体和概念之间的一些联系是双向的，起到了视觉调节装置的作用--在感知和注意力方面产生可能影响决策和行为的变化。
Using police officers and undergraduates as participants, the authors investigated the influence of stereotypic associations on visual processing in 5 studies. Study I demonstrates that Black faces influence participants' ability to spontaneously detect degraded images of crime-relevant objects. Conversely, Studies 2-4 demonstrate that activating abstract concepts (i.e;, crime and basketball) induces attentional biases toward Black male faces. Moreover, these processing biases may be related to the degree to which a social group member is physically representative of the social group (Studies 4-5). These studies, taken together, suggest that some associations between social groups and concepts are bidirectional and operate as visual tuning devices-producing shifts in perception and attention of a sort likely to influence decision making and behavior.
