Abstract

Using a dot-probe task, we provide evidence for an ironic effect, such that individuals who endorse higher levels of colorblindness also show more attention to racial stimuli (Black and White male faces). We discuss whether this ironic effect is specific to racial stimuli as opposed to neutral stimuli.
