Abstract:
A rich body of research points to racial biases in so-called police officer dilemma tasks: participants are generally faster and less error-prone to “shoot” (vs. not “shoot”) Black (vs. White) targets. In three experimental (and two supplemental) studies, we aimed at examining the cognitive processes underlying these findings under fully standardized conditions.
