Abstract(s)

The authors comment on cognitive malleability and the wisdom of independent aggregation of choices, judgment, or responses on implicit tests of stereotyping and prejudice. They discuss the malleability of social stereotypes and other social knowledge structures and the similarities and differences between the bias of crowds model and explicit indices of stereotyping. They raise questions about intraindividual malleability and interindividual stability and nature of human cognition.
