Anecdotally, attributions that others are biased pervade many domains. Yet, research examining the effects of perceptions of bias is sparse, possibly due to some prior researchers conflating bias with untrustworthiness. We sought to demonstrate that perceptions of bias and untrustworthiness are separable and have independent effects. The current work examines these differences in the persuasion domain, but this distinction has implications for other domains as well. Two experiments clarify the conceptual distinction between bias (skewed perception) and untrustworthiness (dishonesty) and three studies demonstrate that source bias can have a negative effect on persuasion and source credibility beyond any parallel effects of untrustworthiness, lack of expertise, and dislikability. The current work suggests that bias is an independent, but understudied source characteristic.
人们常说，在许多领域，人们认为他人有偏见。然而，研究偏见感知影响的研究很少，这可能是由于一些先前的研究人员将偏见与不可信混为一谈。我们试图证明偏见和不可信的感知是可分离的，并且具有独立的影响。当前的工作在说服领域研究了这些差异，但这种区别对于其他领域也有意义。两项实验澄清了偏见（有偏差的感知）和不可信（不诚实）之间的概念区别，三项研究表明，除了不可信、缺乏专业知识和不受欢迎等平行影响之外，来源偏见会对说服和来源可信度产生负面影响。当前的工作表明，偏见是一个独立但研究不足的来源特征。
