This special issue of the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology: Attitudes and Social Cogniition addresses issues of the measurement and the malleability of implicit prejudice and stereotypes. The findings raise fundamental questions about the assumptions underlying the assessment of implicit prejudice, particularly with regard to the widely used Implicit Association Test and the assumption of extant models of prejudice and stereotyping that implicit biases are automatically and invariantly activated when perceivers come in contact with members of stigmatized groups. Several of the articles show that contextual manipulations produce reductions in implicit manifestations of prejudice and stereotyping. The articles in this issue, in challenging conventional wisdom, are thought provoking and should be generative in the field's ongoing efforts to understand the role of implicit (and explicit) processes involved in prejudice and stereotyping.
《人格与社会心理学杂志：态度与社会认知》的这一特刊探讨了内隐偏见和刻板印象的测量及可塑性问题。这些研究结果对评估内隐偏见背后的假设提出了根本性问题，尤其是对于广泛使用的内隐联想测验以及现有偏见和刻板印象模型所基于的假设，即当感知者接触到被污名化群体的成员时，内隐偏见会自动且不变地被激活。几篇文章表明，情境操纵会减少偏见和刻板印象的内隐表现。本期的这些文章挑战了传统观念，发人深省，在该领域持续努力理解偏见和刻板印象中所涉及的内隐（和外显）过程的作用方面应能产生推动作用。
