Abstract
The effect of attitude (anti-Semitism) upon perceptual accuracy and memory was studied. Ss scoring high and low in anti-Semitism were asked to identify photographs as being of Jewish or non-Jewish people. It was hypothesized that Ss scoring high in anti-Semitism would be more accurate in the identification of Jews, and that once having accomplished this task, the capacity to remember those identified as Jewish or not should be less accurate. The results confirmed the hypotheses. From Psyc Abstracts 36:04:4GD90P. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2006 APA, all rights reserved)Keywords
