reducing Social Judgment biases may require identifying the potential source of bias
Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin, 2019Co-Authors: Jordan Axt, Brian A. Nosek, Grace CasolaAbstract:Social Judgment is shaped by multiple biases operating simultaneously, but most bias-reduction interventions target only a single Social category. In seven preregistered studies (total N > 7,000), ...

The Judgment Bias Task: A flexible method for assessing individual differences in Social Judgment biases
Journal of Experimental Social Psychology, 2018Co-Authors: Jordan Axt, Helen Nguyen, Brian A. NosekAbstract:Abstract Many areas of Social psychological research investigate how Social information may bias Judgment. However, most measures of Social Judgment biases are (1) low in reliability because they use a single response, (2) not indicative of individual differences in bias because they use between-subjects designs, (3) inflexible because they are designed for a particular domain, and (4) ambiguous about magnitude of bias because there is no objectively correct answer. We developed a measure of Social Judgment bias, the Judgment Bias Task, in which participants judge profiles varying in quality for a certain outcome based on objective criteria. The presence of ostensibly irrelevant Social information provides opportunity to assess the extent to which Social biases undermine the use of objective criteria in Judgment. The JBT facilitates measurement of Social Judgment biases by (1) using multiple responses, (2) indicating individual differences by using within-subject designs, (3) being adaptable for assessing a variety of Judgments, (4) identifying an objective magnitude of bias, and (5) taking 6 min to complete on average. In nine pre-registered studies (N > 9000) we use the JBT to reveal two prominent Social Judgment biases: favoritism towards more physically attractive people and towards members of one's ingroup. We observe that the JBT can reveal Social biases, and that these sometimes occur even when the participant did not intend or believe they showed biased Judgment. A flexible, objective, efficient assessment of Social Judgment biases will accelerate theoretical and empirical progress.

an unintentional robust and replicable pro black bias in Social Judgment
Social Cognition, 2016Co-Authors: Jordan Axt, Charles R Ebersole, Brian A. NosekAbstract:Empirical evidence and Social commentary demonstrate favoring of Whites over Blacks in attitudes, Social Judgment, and Social behavior. In 6 studies (N > 4,000), we provide evidence for a pro-Black bias in academic decision making. When making multiple admissions decisions for an academic honor society, participants from undergraduate and online samples had a more relaxed acceptance criterion for Black than White candidates, even though participants possessed implicit and explicit preferences for Whites over Blacks. This pro-Black criterion bias persisted among subsamples that wanted to be unbiased and believed they were unbiased. It also persisted even when participants were given warning of the bias or incentives to perform accurately. These results suggest opportunity for theoretical and empirical innovation on the conditions under which biases in Social Judgment favor and disfavor different Social groups, and how those biases manifest outside of awareness or control.

emotion concepts and emotional states in Social Judgment and categorization
Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, 2002Co-Authors: Ase Innesker, Paula M NiedenthalAbstract:: An objection to conclusions of research investigating effects of emotions on cognitive processes is that the effects are due to the activation of semantic concepts rather than to emotional feelings. A sentence unscrambling task was developed to prime concepts of happiness, sadness, or neutral ideas. Pilot studies demonstrated that unscrambling emotional sentences did not affect emotional state but did prime semantically related words. Experiment 1 showed that the induction of emotional state but not the sentence unscrambling task produced emotion-congruent Judgments. Results of Experiment 2 showed that individuals in emotional states categorized according to emotional equivalence more often than participants in a neutral state. Sentence unscrambling had no effect on emotional response categorization. The influences of emotions and emotion knowledge in cognition and emotion are discussed.

the path dependence of organizational reputation how Social Judgment influences assessments of capability and character
Strategic Management Journal, 2012Co-Authors: Yuri Mishina, Emily S Block, Michael J MannorAbstract:Drawing upon theory on Social Judgments and impression formation from Social psychology, this paper explores the socio-cognitive processes that shape the formation of favorable and unfavorable organizational reputations. Specifically, we suggest that stakeholders make distinctions between an organization's capabilities and its character. We explain the nature and function of each and articulate the manner in which Judgment heuristics and biases manifest in the development of capability and character reputations. In doing so, this research explores both the positive and negative sides of organizational reputation by examining the manner in which different types of reputations are built or damaged, and how these processes influence the ability of managers to enhance and protect these reputations.
