Describe the bona fide pipeline. How does it work and what does it show?

The bona fide pipeline is a method by which to determine the true racial attitudes of people. As a simple example, people are primed subliminally with the face of a person from a racial group that is typically viewed negatively. Subsequently, participants are shown an adjective and asked to indicate whether it is “good” or “bad” by pushing one of two keys. When the primed racial group elicits a negative reaction, the participant will be faster in responding to a negative adjective, and slower in responding to a positive adjective. If the prime is a face from a positively viewed racial group, then this pattern is reversed. 

Thanks for taking the time to find the right answer. This is going to help with my final exam review.

Great, I'm glad it worked out.

Bye for now...
