Abstract	Examines the mechanisms underlying group-based differences in implicit attitudes and malleability of implicit attitudes resulting from exposure to exemplars. The authors tested whether these effects are due to differences in activated associations or to the regulation of those associations. In Study 1 (2,232 Black and 16,456 White participants), Black participants exhibited less pro-White bias and activation of pro-White and anti-Black associations compared with White participants. In Study 2 (50 White college students, 39 females), exposure to positive Black and negative White exemplars produced lower pro-White bias and less activation of biased associations. These findings indicate that group-based differences in implicit attitudes and exemplar exposure effects reflect variability in and malleability of automatic associations. Implications for understanding the role of contact on intergroup attitudes are discussed. (ZPID).
