Morning people are more likely to make stereotypic judgements in the evening; evening people are more likely to make stereotypic judgements in the morning. Iv: did task at 9am or 8pm. Can be motivated to refrain from stereotyping. Accountability/accuracy (someone is less likely to stereotype if they are held accountable, like if they are asked to explain why they made the judgement they made) Need for cognition (people high in cognition are less likely to stereotype because they think about things a lot and reach a more moral conclusion) Power over others (less likely to exert motivation) If cognitive resources or motivation is available: If that does not fit, individuate (model of the person based on individual characteristics) The most sustained work is on phenotypicality bias.
