Abstract

Viewing alcohol-related cues (e.g., advertisements) is known to promote expressions of racial bias and aggression through the temporary promotion of reflexive or impulsive responding. However, this increased automaticity may be inhibited by thoughtful control of behavior. We examined the role of controlled processes in the suppression of racial bias following alcohol cue exposure across two experiments. Experiment 1 (N = 125) indicated reduced control of behavior promoted greater expressions of racial bias after viewing alcohol-related cues. Experiment 2 (N = 71) replicated these effects, suggesting individuals with lower neural indices of control, indexed by reduced amplitudes of the error-related negativity (ERN), similarly express greater racial bias after viewing alcohol-related cues. These findings replicate previous work suggesting alcohol-related cues promote impulsivity and application of negative racial stereotypes. Yet, whether this automaticity manifests into behavioral expressions of racial bias depends on the availability to engage self-control to inhibit these socially undesirable responses.

没有醉酒的歧视:控制过程在观看酒精相关线索后促进种族偏见的作用

众所周知，观看与酒精有关的线索(如广告)会通过暂时促进反射或冲动反应而促进种族偏见和侵略的表达。然而，这种增加的自动性可能会被深思熟虑的行为控制所抑制。我们通过两个实验检验了酒精线索暴露后控制过程在种族偏见抑制中的作用。实验1 (N = 125)表明，在观看与酒精有关的线索后，行为控制能力的降低促进了种族偏见的更大表达。实验2 (N = 71)重复了这些效应，表明控制神经指数较低的个体，在看到与酒精有关的线索后，同样表现出更大的种族偏见。这些发现重复了先前的研究，即与酒精有关的线索会促进冲动和消极种族刻板印象的应用。然而，这种自动性是否表现为种族偏见的行为表现，取决于是否有能力通过自我控制来抑制这些不受社会欢迎的反应。

期刊介绍： An excellent resource for researchers as well as students, Social Cognition features reports on empirical research, self-perception, self-concept, social neuroscience, person-memory integration, social schemata, the development of social cognition, and the role of affect in memory and perception. Three broad concerns define the scope of the journal: - The processes underlying the perception, memory, and judgment of social stimuli - The effects of social, cultural, and affective factors on the processing of information The behavioral and interpersonal consequences of cognitive processes.
