Cognitive representation in ethnophaulisms and illusory correlation in stereotyping.

A study was conducted to investigate the development of stereotypes for novel ethnic groups in the distinctiveness-based illusory correlation paradigm. Findings from three experiments confirm that in the absence of any preconceived cognitive representations of, or evaluative responses toward, these...

      ab: A study was conducted to investigate the development of stereotypes for novel ethnic groups in the distinctiveness-based illusory correlation paradigm. Findings from three experiments confirm that in the absence of any preconceived cognitive representations of, or evaluative responses toward, these novel groups, the more salient group is subject to greater prototype representation. Furthermore, this greater prototype representation for the more salient group predicts the distinctiveness-based illusory correlation effect and so predicts differential judgments toward the ethnic groups. The implications of these findings for the study of the distinctiveness-based illusory correlation paradigm in particular, and for cognitive representations of social groups in general, are considered.
