Target of replication. We are attempting to replication Study 2. Low-prejudice people vary considerably in their ability to regulate intergroup responses. In the original study, the authors hypothesized that this variability arises from a neural mechanism for monitoring conflict between automatic race-biased tendencies and egalitarian intentions. They found that low-prejudice participants whose nonprejudiced responses were motivated by internal (but not external) factors exhibited better control on a stereotype-inhibition task than did participants motivated by a combination of internal and external factors, and that these group differences were specific to response control in the domain of prejudice.

A priori replication criteria. Using a 2 (Group: high IMS/low EMS vs. high IMS/high EMS) 2 (Task: weapons vs. flankers) ANOVA on PD-control estimates, the original study found a significant interaction, F(1, 31) = 5.14, p = .03. A successful replication would observe a similarly positive and significant F statistic.

Materials, Data, and Report. Study materials can be found in the study materials component of this project. Raw data and the analysis script will be added to the dataset node after the study i scomplete. The full report and other materials will appear in the files section of this node.

Conclusions. TBD.
