While blatant negative attitudes and behaviors towards immigrants in the United States appear to be decreasing, research has begun to focus on more subtle displays of prejudice displayed towards this group. The theory of Aversive Racism (Dovidio & Gaertner, 1986) may best explain this subtle form of prejudice. This theory proposes that even though persons may hold egalitarian attitudes towards various minority groups, there are still subtle feelings of prejudice that may lie at a more implicit level. The purpose of this study was to examine prejudicial attitudes towards immigrant defendants who vary on legal status, country of origin, and ethnicity, and if aversive racism can best describe this bias. In a mock juror study, 320 participants (160 European-American and 160 Latino) were randomly assigned to one of 8 conditions in a 2 (defendant immigration status: documented or undocumented) X 2 (defendant country of origin: Canada or Mexico) X 2 (defendant ethnicity: White or Latino) between groups design. After reading a case transcript, participants were asked to provide a verdict, recommend a sentence, answer various culpability questions, and rate the defendant on a number of trait characteristics. Similar to previous research (Espinoza & Willis-Esqueda, 2008), it was found that European-American mock jurors found undocumented, Latino immigrants from Mexico guilty significantly more often, more culpable, and rated this defendant more negatively on various trait measures in comparison to all other conditions. A surprising finding was that Latino mock jurors found the undocumented, Latino immigrant from Mexico more culpable on a number of measures compared with all other conditions. Limitations and future directions are discussed.
