A hypothetical model of processing operations, adapted from Correll et al., 2002. Targets are categorized by race, prompting differential stereotypic activation (solid lines). As a common component of racial stereotypes, activation of danger creates a predisposition to shoot that disproportionately affects Black targets. If danger is signaled by context (dashed lines), independently of race, it may create a predisposition to shoot White targets. The circles around each target have been added for the sake of exposition in this paper. In the task, targets are not isolated from the context.
