Abstract
A meta‐analytic strategy was utilized to examine the determinants of differential group evaluations in the distinctiveness‐based illusory correlation paradigm. Illusory correlations measured by the estimation task proved to be a much stronger predictor of differential group evaluations than illusory correlations measured by the assignment task. Moreover, differential group evaluations seemed more dependent upon affective responses than upon cognitive load. These findings are discussed in terms of their implications regarding the mechanism(s) underlying the illusory correlation effect.Keywords
