Psychological interest in stereotype measurement has spanned nearly a century, with researchers adopting implicit measures in the 1980s to complement explicit measures. One of the most frequently used implicit measures of stereotypes is the sequential priming paradigm. The current meta-analysis examines stereotype priming, focusing specifically on this paradigm. To contribute to ongoing discussions regarding methodological rigor in social psychology, one primary goal was to identify methodological moderators of the stereotype priming effect—whether priming is due to a relation between the prime and target stimuli, the prime and target response, participant task, stereotype dimension, stimulus onset asynchrony (SOA), and stimuli type. Data from 39 studies yielded 87 individual effect sizes from 5,497 participants. Analyses revealed that stereotype priming is significantly moderated by the presence of prime–response relations, participant task, stereotype dimension, target stimulus type, SOA, and prime repetition. These results carry both practical and theoretical implications for future research on stereotype priming.

刻板印象测量的心理学兴趣已经跨越了近一个世纪，研究人员在1980年代采用了隐性测量来补充显性测量。刻板印象最常用的隐式度量之一是顺序启动范例。当前的荟萃分析研究了刻板印象启动，特别关注这种范例。为了促进有关社会心理学方法严谨性的持续讨论，一个主要目标是确定刻板印象启动效应的方法论调节者-启动是否是由原动力和目标刺激，原动力和目标反应，参与者任务，刻板印象之间的关系引起的维度，刺激发作异步（SOA）和刺激类型。来自39个研究的数据产生了来自5,497名参与者的87种个体效应大小。分析表明，由于存在素数-反应关系，参与者任务，定型维度，目标刺激类型，SOA和素数重复，显着缓解了定型素数启动。这些结果对刻板印象启动研究有实际和理论意义。
