Type of religious prime may not moderate prejudice outcomes

Evidence

It is possible then that each priming method may be effective to the same degree. However, the power for this test was somewhat low (.71) and, thus, there is a chance that we failed to find an effect that does exist. — Annetta Snell and Miron Zuckerman and Bonnie M.

Categorization

• QUESTION: If all priming methods work equally regardless of how religion is activated, that bears on mechanism — implication vs. salience accounts. Worth chasing.
