“…For instance, one could investigate whether subliminal priming of the ingroup is sufficient to moderate automatic intergroup evaluations. A seminal study by Macrae et al (1995) revealed that subliminal priming of social categories moderates stereotype accessibility. Thus, it may likely be that automatic intergroup evaluations can also be influenced by subliminal ingroup primes.…”

IntroductionThe present research investigates whether ingroup-outgroup distinction salience moderates automatic intergroup bias (i.e., more positive evaluations of ingroup targets relative to outgroup targets) toward multiply categorizable social targets.MethodsIn two experiments, we manipulated the salience of participants’ social identity based on age vs. race, respectively. Afterwards, we measured automatic evaluations of social targets varying in age and race.ResultsYoung White participants exhibited higher automatic race bias when their racial identity (i.e., White in contrast to Black) was salient. Conversely, they exhibited higher automatic age bias when their age identity (i.e., young in contrast to old) was salient.DiscussionGoing beyond previous research, we show that it is sufficient to direct participants’ attention to their ingroup-identity in contrast to the respective outgroup to cause changes in automatic intergroup bias. This is important because it provides a strong test of the hypothesis that ingroup-outgroup distinction salience moderates automatic intergroup bias.

“…Food presents a versatile marker for social identity and a common source of racial/ethnic stereotypes ( Fischler, 1988 ). Behaviors related to eating can serve as racial/ethnic identity primes (e.g., Macrae et al, 1995 ; Shih et al, 2007 ), directly heightening awareness of one’s membership in a social group. Moreover, disparate depictions within media—for example, overrepresenting Black individuals as consumers of fast food ( Gilmore & Jordan, 2012 )—may perpetuate stereotypes entwining racial identifications with eating styles.…”

Shifting societal eating patterns toward a vegetarian diet offers promise for improving public health and environmental sustainability. Yet concerns exist about racial disparities in inclusion, as some sentiments suggest that vegetarianism is stereotypically associated with Whiteness. Through four studies (total N = 3,234), we investigated associations U.S. adults hold between race and vegetarianism, along with implications for behavior change and belongingness among Black individuals. Participants, across racial backgrounds, strongly associated vegetarianism with Whiteness, both explicitly and implicitly. A race prime led Black participants to report lower interest in becoming a vegetarian, whereas a prime of race-vegetarianism associations decreased Black participants’ feelings of belongingness in the vegetarian community. Exposure to racially inclusive messaging about vegetarianism, meanwhile, increased belongingness among Black participants. These findings provide the first quantitative insights into racial stereotypes about vegetarianism and pose future directions for theory, research, and practice at the intersections of race and eating behavior.

“…The contextual salience of social categories is another well-known factor modulating social categorization tendencies (Hogg & Turner, 1987;Oakes et al, 1991). For example, activation of gender stereotypes is weakened after seeing an Asian woman using chopsticks and strengthened if seeing the same person putting on makeup (Macrae et al, 1995).…”
