四个实验考察了行为者的意图和目标所经历的伤害如何影响对偏见和歧视的判断。意图的存在增加了参与者认为某个演员有偏见和该演员的行为具有歧视性的可能性。当意图不确定时，伤害会影响对行为的判断，进而影响对演员的判断，参与者对演员的判断比对演员的行为更谨慎。与观察者的判断相比，伤害也在目标的判断中发挥了更大的作用。了解意图和伤害在偏见感知中的作用，有助于解释目标与观察者、可能目标与行为者之间的差异，以及对歧视和偏见的判断。
Four experiments examined how an actor's intent and the harm experienced by a target influence judgments of prejudice and discrimination. The presence of intent increased the likelihood that participants judged an actor as prejudiced and the actor's behavior as discriminatory. When intent was uncertain, harm influenced judgments of the behavior, which in turn influenced judgments of the actor, and participants were more cautious in their judgments about an actor than an actor's behavior. Harm also played a stronger role in targets' than observers' judgments. Understanding the role of intent and harm on perceptions of prejudice can help explain variations in targets' versus observers', and possibly targets' versus actors', judgments of discrimination and prejudice.
