ABSTRACT
N200 responses (Ito & Urland, 2003, 2005; Willadsen-Jensen & Ito, 2006).
That is, White participants show larger P200s to outgroup Blacks and Asians
and larger N200s to ingroup Whites, regardless of the local racial
representation within the task. The implications of this greater sensitivity
to context among Asian participants are interesting to consider. It is likely
that non-Whites within the United States have experience operating within
both predominantly White and predominantly non-White contexts. Switch-
ing between contexts in this way may confer an ability to adopt different
racial perspectives depending on the situation, with a predominantly White
context perhaps signalling the need for greater relative attention to Whites
that results in a pattern of responses matching what is typically seen from
White perceivers.
