Document Summary
You will see a series of statements, each describing a person performing some type of behaviour. Each person belongs to either group a and group b. Ater all statements have been presented, you will respond to your responses. Group a: 18 posiive statements, 8 negaive statements, 9:4 raio of posiive to negaive. Group b: 9 posiive statements, 4 negaive statements, 9:4 raio sill but less = everything. The percepion of a relaionship where none exists, or percepion of a stronger relaionship than actually exists. Another way to think of it a false impression that two variables correlate. The joint occurrence of two disincive events (minority member group b and disincive event. Negaive behaviour) probably atracted to it more since it is rare. It may be one reason individuals become prejudiced. Research has shown white americans overesimate the arrest rate of african americans. How did we create and illusionary correlaion between group b and negaive biases.
