The study reported here was a conceptual replication of Bodenhausen & Wyer (1985) using different stereotypical categories and improved dependent measures. It considered the effects of stereotypes on ( a ) causal judgements concerning a criminal trangression, ( b ) sanctioning judgements and ( c ) recall of the incident details. A generally similar pattern of results to Bodenhausen & Wyer was obtained with behaviours typical of a given occupation being attributed internally and preferentially recalled.
