Across three studies, we tested the role of perceivers\u2019 racial and gendered biases in categorization of Black and White students and student-athletes and the subsequent evaluative consequences. Participants viewed faces of actual Black and White male and female undergraduates who were either non-athlete <i>students<\/i> or student-<i>athletes<\/i> and made binary judgments about whether the undergraduate was a <i>student<\/i> or an <i>athlete<\/i>. We found an overall bias to judge Black male undergraduates to be student-athletes, driven by Black male students being more likely to be misperceived as student-athletes than White male students. Furthermore, male targets perceived to be student-athletes were rated lower on academic ability (Studies 2 and 3). In contrast, we found an overall bias to judge female undergraduates as students. Implications for how perceiver bias plays a dual role in negatively affecting academic climates for underrepresented groups are discussed.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\"><strong>Article Link:<\/strong><\/span> https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/01461672211044067<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Reference: Higginbotham, G.
