We are examining the process of race bias control in social situations to understand how individuals’ intentions to control race bias sometimes fail and to assess the signal for control in social situations. Previous research in the lab using EEG has focused on how good people are at realizing they might be acting with race bias. This research found that brain activity calling for more careful responses is stronger for people who are more efficient at controlling their race bias. Currently, we are using EEG to investigate how social situations affect this “signal for control.
