teachers (stereotypically warm and incompetent) with lawyers (stereotypically cold and competent). As predicted, two samples

of students from various areas of study showed the mixed implicit stereotypes, while a group of preschool-teacher students showed a

univalent positive implicit stereotype of their own... (More)
