低偏见的人在调节群体间反应的能力上存在很大差异。作者假设，这种变异性源于一种神经机制，用于监测自动的种族偏见倾向和平等主义意图之间的冲突。在研究1中，他们发现，其无偏见反应是由内部(而不是外部)因素驱动的低偏见参与者在刻板印象抑制任务中表现出比由内部和外部因素共同驱动的参与者更好的控制能力。当反应需要刻板印象抑制时，这种差异与更大的冲突监控活动有关，通过事件相关电位来衡量。研究2表明，在偏见领域，群体差异是反应控制所特有的。结果表明，冲突监控是反应控制的一个前意识成分，它解释了低偏见参与者的组间偏见的变异性。
Low-prejudice people vary considerably in their ability to regulate intergroup responses. The authors hypothesized that this variability arises from a neural mechanism for monitoring conflict between automatic race-biased tendencies and egalitarian intentions. In Study 1, they found that low-prejudice participants whose nonprejudiced responses are motivated by internal (but not external) factors exhibited better control on a stereotype-inhibition task than did participants motivated by a combination of internal and external factors. This difference was associated with greater conflict-monitoring activity, measured by event-related potentials, when responses required stereotype inhibition. Study 2 demonstrated that group differences were specific to response control in the domain of prejudice. Results indicate that conflict monitoring, a preconscious component of response control, accounts for variability in intergroup bias among low-prejudice participants.
