Keyword: Memory

Abstract: This study tested whether being associated with political messages from the left or right could impact how well racial ingroup and outgroup faces were remembered. After testing 109 White-participants, the cross-race effect was mitigated when pairing Black and White faces with right-wing messages, but not with left-wing messages.
