Dr. Anthony Greenwald (UW - Department of Psychology) explains how racial stereotypes can influence decision-making in police officers. Several virtual reality experiments were conducted containing simulated criminals (with guns), police officers (with guns), and citizens (holding harmless objects). The test takers were to respond appropriately to criminals (simulate shooting), fellow police officers (signal safety), or harmless citizens (no action). The results reveal that Blacks were shot incorrectly more than Whites. The study concludes that race can affect ones ability to discriminate between a harmless object and a weapon & that race can cause one to respond as if a weapon is present.
