两个实验提供了初步的证据，表明特定的情绪状态能够产生对外群体的自动偏见。具体来说，我们认为愤怒应该影响外群的自动评价，因为它与群间冲突和竞争具有功能相关性，而其他负面情绪与群间关系不太相关（例如，悲伤，不应该。在这两个实验中，在创建了最小的内群体和外群体之后，参与者被诱导经历愤怒，悲伤或中性状态。自动的态度，对内，外群体，然后使用评价性启动措施（实验1）和内隐联想测试（实验2）进行评估。正如预测的那样，结果表明，愤怒会产生对外群体的自动偏见，而悲伤和中立则不会产生自动的组间偏见。这些研究结果的影响，情绪引起的偏见，特别是在隐式群间认知，并在一般的社会认知，被认为是。
Two experiments provide initial evidence that specific emotional states are capable of creating automatic prejudice toward outgroups. Specifically, we propose that anger should influence automatic evaluations of outgroups because of its functional relevance to intergroup conflict and competition, whereas other negative emotions less relevant to intergroup relations (e.g., sadness) should not. In both experiments, after minimal ingroups and outgroups were created, participants were induced to experience anger, sadness, or a neutral state. Automatic attitudes toward the in- and outgroups were then assessed using an evaluative priming measure (Experiment 1) and the Implicit Association Test (Experiment 2). As predicted, results showed that anger created automatic prejudice toward the outgroup, whereas sadness and neutrality resulted in no automatic intergroup bias. The implications of these findings for emotion-induced biases in implicit intergroup cognition in particular, and in social cognition in general, are considered.
