Description: Two studies investigated whether interpretations of quantitative expressions about described actors’ behaviors are influenced by stereotypic expectancies. In two online experiments (one in Dutch language, and a direct replication in English language), participants were presented with sentences containing frequency adverbs describing either stereotype-consistent or stereotype-inconsistent behaviors. They rated perceived frequency of the described behaviors. Results showed that recipients inferred a higher numerical frequency when behaviors were stereotype consistent (vs inconsistent) for the described actors. These effects of stereotype consistency were stronger for high (vs low) degree frequency adverbs. The findings show how neutral statements about a person can be interpreted as stereotype-confirming information, which, in turn, may contribute to stereotype use and maintenance. Keywords: linguistic bias, frequency adverbs, stereotypes, prejudice, language
