Little research has explored the psychological mechanisms underlying racial disparities in the juvenile justice system. In Phase 1, of our mock officer paradigm, participants completed a stereotype content model survey comparing ratings of warmth and competence between juvenile delinquents and other social categories. In Phase 2, participants reviewed a predisposition investigation and made predictions about offender dangerousness and adherence to probation. Randomly assigned to experience fear, anger, or a neutral emotion, participants reviewed either a Black or White juvenile with no risk information versus low-, moderate-, or high-risk information. Participants stereotyped juvenile delinquents as low in warmth and competence and found those individuals extreme on these dimensions more dangerous. However, in some situations, stereotypical warmth interacted with emotions, risk, and race to exert a protective influence; in other situations, it was neutral, and in still others it was detrimental to the youth. For example, fearful participants provided lower dangerousness ratings to a White, high-risk offender as stereotypic warmth increased but this protective effect disappeared for high-risk Black offenders. Furthermore, irrespective of race, increases in warmth predicted higher dangerousness for low- and moderate-risk youth supporting the activation of a less "cold" stereotype that makes youthful offenders appear more dangerous.

在对青少年缓刑犯的判断中，刻板印象和情绪作为风险和种族的调节因素。

很少有研究探讨青少年司法系统中种族差异背后的心理机制。在我们的模拟警官范式的第一阶段，参与者完成了刻板印象内容模型调查，比较青少年犯罪者和其他社会类别之间的热情和能力评级。在第二阶段，参与者审查了倾向调查，并对罪犯的危险性和缓刑遵守情况做出了预测。参与者被随机分配体验恐惧、愤怒或中性情绪，对没有风险信息和低、中或高风险信息的黑人或白人青少年进行评估。参与者对青少年罪犯的刻板印象是热情和能力低下，并发现那些在这些方面极端的人更加危险。然而，在某些情况下，刻板的温暖与情绪、风险和种族相互作用，产生保护性影响。在其他情况下，它是中性的，而在另一些情况下，它对年轻人有害。例如，随着刻板印象的温暖增加，恐惧的参与者对白人高风险犯罪者的危险性评级较低，但这种保护作用对于高风险黑人犯罪者消失了。此外，无论种族如何，气温的升高预示着低风险和中等风险青少年的危险性更高，这支持了不那么“冷酷”的刻板印象的激活，使青少年犯罪者显得更加危险。（PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2023 APA，保留所有权利）。
