Abstract
The relationship between multiple stigmas and others' perceptions of the stigmas was investigated. The participants received 6 stigma targets; controllability of the onset of the stigma, race of the target, and gender of the target were manipulated. The participants' affective ratings differed on the basis of perceived controllability of the onset of the stigma. After receiving additional information about the targets, the participants assigned more blame to the Black stigma targets than to the White stigma targets.Keywords
