Social Desirability Effects and Support for a Female American President
Public Opinion Quarterly, 2008Co-Authors: Matthew J. Streb, Barbara Burrell, Brian Frederick, Michael A. GenoveseAbstract:Public opinion polls show consistently that a substantial portion of the American public would vote for a qualified female presidential candidate. Because of the controversial nature of such questions, however, the responses may suffer from social desirability effects. In other words, respondents may be purposely giving false answers as not to violate societal norms. Using an Unobtrusive Measure called the “list experiment,” we find that public opinion polls are indeed exaggerating support for a female president. Roughly 26 percent of the public is “angry or upset” about the prospect of a female president. Moreover, this level of dissatisfaction is constant across several demographic groups.

Public Opinion Quarterly, 2008Co-Authors: Matthew J. Streb, Barbara Burrell, Brian Frederick, Michael A. GenoveseAbstract:Public opinion polls show consistently that a substantial portion of the American public would vote for a qualified female presi- dential candidate. Because of the controversial nature of such questions, however, the responses may suffer from social desirability effects. In other words, respondents may be purposely giving false answers as not to violate societal norms. Using an Unobtrusive Measure called the "list experiment," we find that public opinion polls are indeed exaggerating support for a female president. Roughly 26 percent of the public is "angry or upset" about the prospect of a female president. Moreover, this level of dissatisfaction is constant across several demographic groups. As talk about the 2008 presidential election heats up, there is much speculation about whether the United States will elect its first female president; questions about the extent to which the public would support a woman for president have taken on more than hypothetical value. The White House Project has been established to research stereotypes about women as national leaders and to promote the idea of a woman as a president. Senator and former first lady Hillary Clinton leads in all polls to be the Democratic Party nominee in 2008, and the Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice has been promoted within Republican circles as that party's nominee, although she has declared she would not be a candidate.

african americans implicit racial attitudes and the depletion of executive function after interracial interactions
Social Cognition, 2005Co-Authors: Jennifer A Richeson, Sophie Trawalter, Nicole J SheltonAbstract:Abstract Previous work has found that white individuals who harbor negative racial attitudes toward blacks are particularly likely to be depleted of executive attentional resources after interracial contact. The present study investigated whether engaging in interracial interactions also depletes the executive resources of black individuals as a function of their racial attitudes toward whites. Black participants completed an Unobtrusive Measure of racial attitudes, engaged in either an interracial or same-race interaction, and then completed an inhibitory response task to assess executive functioning. Similar to previous research, results revealed that blacks' racial attitudes predicted the extent to which they were impaired on the inhibitory response task after an interracial, but not after a same-race, interaction. Specifically, the more ingroup favoritism individuals revealed on the attitude Measure, the more depleted of attentional resources they were after the interracial interaction. Taken together...

an fmri investigation of the impact of interracial contact on executive function
Nature Neuroscience, 2003Co-Authors: Jennifer A Richeson, Sophie Trawalter, Abigail A Baird, Heather L Gordon, Todd F Heatherton, Carrie L Wyland, Nicole J SheltonAbstract:We investigated whether individual differences in racial bias among white participants predict the recruitment, and potential depletion, of executive attentional resources during contact with black individuals. White individuals completed an Unobtrusive Measure of racial bias, then interacted with a black individual, and finally completed an ostensibly unrelated Stroop color-naming test. In a separate functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) session, subjects were presented with unfamiliar black male faces, and the activity of brain regions thought to be critical to executive control was assessed. We found that racial bias predicted activity in right dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) in response to black faces. Furthermore, activity in this region predicted Stroop interference after an actual interracial interaction, and it statistically mediated the relation between racial bias and Stroop interference. These results are consistent with a resource depletion account of the temporary executive dysfunction seen in racially biased individuals after interracial contact.
