Aversive Racism and Contemporary Bias (2016, background): “Aversive racism is also influential in selection decisions in employment and college admission, interpersonal judgments, and policy and legal decisions (see Dovidio & Gaertner, 2004; Knight, Guiliano, & Sanchez-Ross, 2001; Sommers & Ellsworth, 2000).”
Intergroup bias in third-party punishment stems from both ingroup favoritism and outgroup discrimination (2014, background): “…justice research indicates that the perpetrator’s group affiliation strongly influences unaffected third-parties, i.e., they judge an outgroup perpetrator’s norm violation more harshly than the same transgression by an ingroup perpetrator (Graham,Weiner, & Zucker, 1997; Sommers & Ellsworth, 2000).”
Socio-Psychological Barriers to Confl ict Resolution (2011, unknown): “Society members tend to interpret acquired information in line with the stored conflict supporting beliefs (pfeifer & Ogloff, 1991; Rosenberg & Wolfsfeld, 1977; Shamir & Shikaki, 2002; Sommers & ellsworth, 2000).”
Race and the decision making of juries (2007, background): “Indeed, some researchers have described these effects as ‘Black racism’ (Skolnick & Shaw, 1997), whereas others have referred to the same pattern as one of ‘same-race leniency’ ( Sommers & Ellsworth, 2000 ).”
The Influence of the Ethos of Conflict on Israeli Jews' Interpretation of Jewish—Palestinian Encounters (2009, background): “They apply their most accessible interpretation when they are exposed to information (see also Hamilton, Sherman, and Ruvolo 1990; Howard and Pike 1986; Maoz et al. 2002; Pfeifer and Ogloff 1991; Rosenberg and Wolfsfeld 1977; Sommers and Ellsworth 2000 ).”
Lay Theories About White Racists: What Constitutes Racism (and What Doesn't) (2006, result): “Empirical evidence of between-race differences in racial attitudes and judgments supports this prediction (e.g. Johnson, Simmons, Trawalter, Ferguson, & Reed, 2003; Monteith & Spicer, 2000; Sommers & Ellsworth, 2000).”
Effects of Victim and Defendant Race on Jurors' Decisions in Child Sexual Abuse Cases1 (2004, background): “Research in legal domains has demonstrated that mock jurors exhibit more leniency (in judgments of guilt and sentencing) for defendants who are similar to them on a variety of dimensions, including race (e.g., Miller & Hewitt, 1978; Mitchell & Byrne, 1973; Selby, Calhoun, & Brock, 1977; Sommers & E”
Justice through consensus: Shared identity and the preference for a restorative notion of justice (2010, background): “…offender is a member of their ingroup, and more punitive to offenders regarded as members of a salient outgroup (Graham, Weiner, & Zucker, 1997; Kerr, Hymes, Anderson, & Weathers, 1995; Sommers & Ellsworth, 2000); this corresponds to a straightforward ingroup favouritism effect (see Brewer, 2007).”
