Abstract

In this study, we examined the effects of over-the-counter (OTC) pain medications on racial bias in decisions to shoot people holding guns and objects. We did not find a main effect of the OTC pain medications on reaction time and accuracy. Further analyses using drift diffusion modeling are underway.
