Abstract
2 studies were conducted to clarify the relationships between anti-Semitism, accuracy in identifying facial photographs of male and female Jews and non-Jews, and Ss' response biases in labeling photographs as Jewish. In Study 1, where the response biases of the 58 non-Jewish Ss were permitted to influence accuracy, significant correlations between anti-Semitism and accuracy and anti-Semitism and response bias were obtained. In Study 2, where the response biases of the 99 Ss were experimentally controlled, no relationship between anti-Semitism and accuracy was found. The results suggest that the relationship between anti-Semitism and accuracy is mediated by response rather than by perceptual factors. (18 ref.)
