Study Generate simple policy scenarios in which the racial implications are varied systematically between participants. Test whether liberals’ or conservatives’ policy positions change as a function of the racial implications of the policy. The hypothesis is that liberals will be more sensitive to the racial component of the policy than conservatives will be. That is, liberals will be more positively oriented toward a policy when it more clearly advantages minorities (or Blacks in particular), and conservatives support for the policy will be less impacted by its racial implications. Design Generate six scenarios: Three scenarios proposing policies that conservatives will tend to favor, and three scenarios proposing policies that liberals will tend to favor. Within scenario, manipulate between-subjects whether the policy will have an effect that (a) disproportionally favors Blacks over Whites, (b) disproportionally favors Whites over Blacks, or (c) is proportional in impact on Blacks and Whites. Each participant receives one version of each of the six scenarios. The scenarios are counterbalanced so that each participant receives one of the a, b, c conditions for conservative-favored policies and for liberal-favored policies A separate sample might provide race-blind ratings by removing italicized text from scenario. This would allow assessment of whether mentioning race in any way has an effect on judgment. Response scale: strongly oppose, moderately oppose, slightly oppose, slightly favor, moderately favor, strongly favor Link to materials on test server: [https://dw2.psyc.virginia.edu/implicit/showfiles.jsp?user=chawkins&study=racepolicy][1] [1]: https://dw2.psyc.virginia.edu/implicit/showfiles.jsp?user=chawkins&study=racepolicy
