关于其他人的交流可能会受到群体刻板印象的影响。这项研究探讨了关于学业成绩的种族刻板印象如何影响传播者对个人的描述以及解释者对这些描述的“解码”。被分配到“沟通者”角色的参与者查看了黑人或白人学生的大学成绩单，并向同伴传达了他们的印象。当目标是黑人时，这些沟通比白人更积极。然而，被束缚的“口译员”将这些信息反向翻译，意味着黑人学生客观上比白人学生的记录更差，这种效应在不了解学生种族或没有沟通控制的口译员中不会出现。传播者还错误地认为黑人学生的记录比白人学生的记录更差。这些效应表明使用“不断变化的标准”来交流黑人和白人并解码主观评价，这是一个可能有助于维持刻板印象的互动过程。 (C) 2009 年，爱思唯尔公司出版。
Communications about other people may be shaped by group stereotypes. This study examined how racial stereotypes about academic performance affected communicators' descriptions of individuals and interpreters' "decoding" of those descriptions. Participants assigned to a "communicator" role viewed a college transcript of a Black or White student, and communicated their impressions to a peer. These communications were more positive when the target was Black than White. However, yoked "interpreters" back-translated the communications to mean that the Black student had an objectively worse record than the White student, an effect that did not emerge among interpreters blind to the student's race or among no communication controls. Communicators also mis-remembered the Black student's record as worse than the White student's. These effects suggest the use of "shifting standards" to communicate about Blacks and Whites and to decode subjective evaluations, an interactive process that may contribute to stereotype maintenance.
