Social categorization and math stereotyping (replication using new images)

The first purpose of this study is to replicate our previous study investigating how people spontaneously categorize Asian women, versus White men, when completing a math/arts IAT that allows these targets to be categorized by race, gender, or both. The second goal is to examine whether categorization (by race, gender, or both) results in stereotype-consistent associations. Specifically, are people who appear to be categorizing these faces primarily by gender less likely to associate Asian women with math compared to those who appear to be categorizing primarily by race? An Implicit Association Test (IAT) will be used to examine these questions. In the IAT, participants will be presented with Asian female faces and White male faces and will be asked to categorize these faces using a header showing both race and gender (i.e., “Asian Woman” cartoon image “White Man” cartoon imaes). In order to determine how people are primarily categorizing these faces, we will add 3 additional categorization trials seamlessly to the end of the measure. These will be selected from four images that include Asian men (n=2) and White women (n=2) of comparable age and attractiveness. If participants are attending primarily to race, they should sort these with the Asian woman and White man header, respectively. By contrast, if participants are attending primarily to gender, we should see the reverse pattern – Asian men should be sorted with the White Man header, and White women should be sorted with the Asian Woman header. Based on our previous studies, we anticipate that the majority of participants will categorize by gender and that they will show a math-gender stereotype on this implicit measure, despite the female images being exclusively of East-Asian women. Unlike our previous study with a similar design, we are making use of a new set of images from " Beaupré, M.G., & Hess, U. (in press). Cross-cultural emotion recognition among Canadian ethnic groups." Journal of Cross-cultural Psychology. (with one Asian female face replaced due to make-up; and taken from Utrecht ECVP). All images were also cropped with an oval so that only the main parts of the face appear. We plan to collect 160 participants.
