A significant association was found between a participant's homophobia and the type of error he made in recalling who said what in a group discussion involving ostensible homosexuals and heterosexuals. This is interpreted as identifying an individual difference in stereotyped perception, and as extending, to an ‘invisible’ category, findings on the effects of cognitive categorization by race and sex.
