Until recently, stereotype researchers have usually measured knowledge of stereotypes, but not the endorsement of these stereotypes. Moreover, most investigations have focused on either encoding or retrieval effects of stereotypical information. The aim here is to provide evidence for both effects in one & the same memory test in the context of sexist prejudices. It was hypothesized that highly sexist persons, on the one hand, would be better at remembering inconsistent information (inconsistency effect), but on the other hand, because of their sexist beliefs, they would also provide stereotype-guided answers (consistency effect). Participants had to either form an impression of, or learn items about, a target person who was either male or female & was described by gender-stereotype-congruent & -incongruent attributes. Later, they were asked to recollect the information in a recognition test, & their modern sexism was assessed. Results confirm the hypotheses. Implications for the study of person memory & social stereotypes are discussed. 2 Tables, 44 References. Adapted from the source document.
