La mayor parte de los estudios sobre sesgos y discriminación racial examinan si los miembros de las minorías raciales sufren, en circunstancias equivalentes, una percepción o un tratamiento más negativo que el otorgado a la mayoría. Este estudio invirtió las variables dependiente e independiente y comprobó si la asociación de una persona con contenidos negativos propios del estereotipo de la minoría aumenta la probabilidad de que dicha persona sea categorizada como miembro de esa minoría racial, así como si dicho proceso se observa principalmente a la hora de categorizar miembros del exogrupo discriminado. Los resultados obtenidos mostraron que la probabilidad de categorizar a una persona como miembro de un grupo racial no varió en función de la información estereotípica suministrada pero sí en función del grupo en el que el perceptor se auto-categorizaba, tanto para los miembros de la minoría como para los de la mayoría. Se discuten las implicaciones de dicho estudio para la auto-atribución versus hetero-atribución racial.
