(1) Explicit racial prejudice represents a mean score based on 7 items assessing attitudes toward Black Americans (Modern Racism Scale). Scores can range from 1 to 5, with higher values indicating stronger prejudice (more negative attitudes toward Black Americans). (2) Implicit racial prejudice represents a D score generated by an implicit association test (IAT), which is a computerized response-latency task. Scores can range from − 2 to 2, with higher scores suggesting greater prejudice (a more negative implicit attitude toward Black vs. White men). (3) Explicit sexual prejudice represents a mean score based on 12 items assessing attitudes toward gay men (Modern Homonegativity Scale-Gay Men (MHS-G)). Scores can range from 1 to 5, with higher values indicating stronger prejudice (more negative attitudes toward gay men). (4) Explicit prejudice against people who inject drugs represents a mean score based on 6 items assessing attitudes toward people who inject drugs (Drug Use Stigmatization Scale). Scores can range from 1 to 5, with higher values indicating stronger prejudice (more negative attitudes toward people who inject drugs). (5–13) All clinical judgments represent single-item measures. Scores can range from 1 to 5, with higher values indicating stronger endorsement
For the implicit racial prejudice measure only, the analytic sample was restricted to those participants who passed the manipulation check, completed the IAT, and met duration and accuracy criteria (n = 149 vs. 276)
