The Paranoid Optimist: An Integrative Evolutionary Model of Cognitive Biases (2006, background): “The assumption that members of one's own racial or ethnic group are more generous and kind (Brewer, 1979), and less hostile and violent (e.g., Quillian & Pager, 2001) than out-group members, is a bias that can be understood from an error management perspective.”

Big Data Surveillance: The Case of Policing (2017, background): “Social psychological research demonstrates that humans are “cognitive misers” (Fiske and Taylor 1991) who rely on shortcuts—such as the conflation of blackness and criminality (Quillian and Pager 2001)—to understand the world.”
