    The study was presented as a reaction time test but actually examined hidden racial biases. Participants were shown images of Black and white men holding objects and had to quickly decide whether to shoot if a gun was seen or not shoot if a phone was seen. While shooting the correct person earned points, shooting an innocent lost points. The condition of interest was when both men held phones, and researchers found Black men were shot more frequently than white men, even when the men's positions were switched, revealing hidden racial biases in shoot/don't shoot decisions.

    1. What are the participants told the research is about? And why?

    The participants are told that the research is to measure reaction time even though it was not,
    so that there would be no Hawthorne Effect (demand characteristics) which will happen if the
    participants knew the real aim of the experiment.

    2. What is the study actually about?

    The study is actually about hidden racial biases, and whether or not the color of your skin makes
    you more likely to be a victim of violence.

    3. What are the different conditions that are presented?

    A gun and a cell phone were the two items presented in the live targets hands. If the humans
    shot the correct person they would get a point if they shot the wrong person they would lose a
    point.

    4. How do you get a perfect score?

    By shooting all the people with guns and no innocents with phones.

    5. Give some examples of qualitative data that were collected.

    The African-American man with the cell phone was shot more than the white man with the cell
    phone.

    6. What is the condition [scenario] of interest?

    The condition of interest is where the two men of different color both with phones come up.
    The researchers record who is shot more.

    The researchers made the African-American man and the white man switch places however the
    results still came the same.
