Implication

Seven online studies examined how race and gender stereotypes affect competence judgments in Black women, suggesting unique intersectional stereotypes.

Key Points

  • Black women received lower competence ratings compared to Black men and White women, illustrating intersectional bias.
  • The meta-analysis showed cognitive control significantly predicts competence ratings specifically for Black women, highlighting a unique stereotype.
  • Motivation to control bias influenced responses, but did not lead to favorable perceptions of Black women compared to their counterparts.
  • The research emphasizes the challenges in regulating stereotypes for multiply marginalized individuals, supporting intersectional models of bias.
