✦ Synopsis

The study investigated participants' judgements of the defendant's guilt, severity of punishment and memory of information concerning a crime presented earlier, as a function of activated stereotype (positive versus negative) and cognitive load (i.e. selfpaced versus quick processing pace). As hypothesized, it was found that judgement of guilt, punishment and memory were aected by the activated stereotype only under high-load conditions. Under these conditions, a negative stereotype of the defendant evoked higher estimates of guilt, harsher punishment and better memory of incriminating evidence than a positive stereotype, while there was no eect of stereotype valence in the low-load condition.
