Accuracy can be measured as how perceivers’ judgments correlate with group criteria.

Evidence

A second alternative to direct difference comparisons between judgments and the criterion is to use correlational methods. We have called such correlational assessments sensitivity correlations. Across multiple attribute dimensions, one can assess for each perceiver the degree to which judgments covary with the criterion. In terms of stereotypic accuracy, substantial correlations would indicate that perceivers are sensitive to the varying prevalence of particular attributes within a group: perceivers judge there to be a greater prevalence of attribute dimensions that are in fact more prevalent. — , Rudman, Laurie A - On the Nature of…, 872
