Metadata Show full item record. Abstract A growing body of research has focused on how perspective taking leads people to perceive themselves as "merging" with the target of perspective taking, in terms of how they cognitively represent themselves and the target.

This book turns the tables on the way prejudice has been looked at in the past. Almost all of the current information on prejudice focuses on the person holding.
Using this past research as a starting point, this dissertation asks a related but new question: Does perspective taking lead perceivers to take on the attitudes of the target of perspective taking, even when these attitudes are socially reprehensible?

In Study I, participants took the perspective of racist male target or wrote about a day in his life without taking his perspective or about a day in their own lives , learning about his attitudes from visual information alone.

Also among perspective takers, greater internal motivation to respond without prejudice also ironically led to greater implicit stereotyping.
