Resumo(s)
Research into educational inequalities often uses paradigms with vignettes
to investigate the role of bias. Those studies often include manipulation
and attention checks to assess whether participants correctly noticed the
target group's identity. In three experimental studies (total N= 1050)
using vignettes with blurred pictures of Black or White target students,
we show low levels of correct answers in manipulation checks. Furthermore,
in the third study, we show that the proportion of correct answers
to the manipulation checks differed by race of the target. Incorrect
answers were more frequent for black targets. No such differences
emerged with attention checks (where questions were not about race).
Either teachers are trying not to appear prejudiced, or they have attention
biases when considering information about Black vs. White students. Both
phenomena shed light on psychological processes underlying reasoning
about students from different ethnic backgrounds and are important
points to take into consideration for researchers working on social
inequalities in education.
