Correction to Krieglmeyer and Sherman (2012).

Reports an error in "Disentangling stereotype activation and stereotype application in the stereotype misperception task" by Regina Krieglmeyer and Jeffrey W. Sherman (Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, 2012[Aug], Vol 103[2], 205-224). In the article (https://doi.org/10.1037/a0028764), there was an error in the data analysis of Experiment 4. The mean proportions of "more threatening" responses in trials with White and Neutral primes in the aggregated data file were not correct. Correction of the error leads to deviations in the descriptive, inferential and modeling statistics (including changes in Figure 6), but does not substantively alter the primary conclusions drawn from the data. The raw data is freely available at osf.io/cp9ga/. The online version of this article has been corrected (The following abstract of the original article appeared in record 2012-14232-001.) When forming impressions about other people, stereotypes about the individual's social group often influence the resulting impression. At least 2 distinguishable processes underlie stereotypic impression formation: stereotype activation and stereotype application. Most previous research has used implicit measures to assess stereotype activation and explicit measures to assess stereotype application, which has several disadvantages. The authors propose a measure of stereotypic impression formation, the stereotype misperception task (SMT), together with a multinomial model that quantitatively disentangles the contributions of stereotype activation and application to responses in the SMT. The validity of the SMT and of the multinomial model was confirmed in 5 studies. The authors hope to advance research on stereotyping by providing a measurement tool that separates multiple processes underlying impression formation.
