Abstract

Research has primarily focused on environmental factors that contribute to race bias. Few studies have explored potential biological factors. Furthermore, these studies contain a White homogeneous sample. The current study explored how the interaction between the serotonin transporter gene and one’s race/ethnicity contributes to race bias in a diverse sample.
