Web versions of the IAT are available to assess your implicit prejudice toward blacks and whites, young and old, men and women, and even George W. Bush versus Franklin Delano Roosevelt!

2. It has been said (in this chapter, in fact) that race relations have progressed more smoothly in the U.S. military than on college campuses, and that this pattern fits with the findings of the Robbers Cave experiment. In what other areas might we expect (and you might have observed) race relations to progress rather smoothly? Do these examples also fit with the lessons of the Robbers Cave study? In what other areas might we expect (and you might have observed) race relations to progress less smoothly?

3. Close your eyes and try to picture in detail an aggressive act on the part of a construction worker. Briefly write down what you imagined. Now close your eyes and try to picture an aggressive act on the part of a housewife. Write down that as well. Are there any differences between the two episodes you imagined? If so, why are they different, and does this have anything to say about your stereotypes of construction workers and housewives?
