Abstract

This study was designed to test the assumption that a hierarchy of evaluation will exist when multiple-group membership information is provided. It was hypothesized that, based on in-group bias, there would be an additive effect of group membership (racial and geographic) information. Results indicated that White northern and southern samples of U.S. students tended to rate a geographically similar yet racially different actor most favorably. Attributionally, the Black actor was consistently rated as less responsible for his actions than the White actor.
