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

Subject: Discrimination and Names


Hi Tipsters,

A colleague asked that I write with the following query. 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
