Abstract

Examined the processes that unfolded from category-based expectancy violations. In Study 1, which included both Black and White participants, descriptions of in-group and out-group targets' academic credentials either violated or were consistent with relevant category-based expectancies for their respective group category. Results showed that expectancy violations were associated with more extreme affect-related evaluations, regardless of whether the participants were in-group or out-group members. In Study 2, a judgement facilitation paradigm was used in which participants' response times to make affect-related evaluations and attributions regarding expectancy violating targets were compared.
