Men gender instances women, recalled precautions against assault, and showed poorer recognition examples a TEDx talk (Studies 2a-2c). Whites racial Blacks such 3a-3b). also Asians reacted more slowly when classifying as discriminatory 4). Hypocognition privilege persisted whether was framed disadvantages or presence advantages 5). hypocognition made salient not, suggesting is unlikely fueled motivated denial 6). After watching transgender woman describe her experience living woman, both men women increased perception 7). Findings suggest that invisibility one’s need not solely reflect identity-defensive motivations, but may stem deficits in conceptual knowledge about discrimination.
