It seems like the Implicit Association (or Implicit Attitude) Testing site on the web (put together by Anthony Greenwald and his colleagues) had one version where ethnic attitudes were measured by responses to certain names. Don't know what has been published from research on that site, but you can check it out at: http://buster.cs.yale.edu/implicit/index.html

He is interested as to whether there is any research concerning prejudice/discrimination/stereotypes related to simply names. Note that I am not talking about the research related to popular vs. unpopular/unusual names but rather the fact that names might imply nationality or ethnicity. Apparently the question came up in a sociology of education class. The student wanted to know whether the name on a class list impacted the teacher's/professor's perception of a student and subsequent course outcome. I don't know of any research specifically in this area. Anybody out there familiar with any related research? Thanks, Linda ********** Linda M.
