  title = {The Indirect Effects of Discredited Stereotypes in Judgments of Jewish leaders},
  abstract = {<p>Can stereotypes of ethnic groups have an indirect impact on voters{\textquoteright} judgments even if voters reject them? We examine the<br>case of Jewish leaders and hypothesize that acceptable political stereotypes (Jews are liberal) are linked in voters{\textquoteright} minds<br>to unacceptable social stereotypes (Jews are shady); consequently, a cue to the candidate{\textquoteright}s shadiness works indirectly by<br>increasing the perception that the candidate is liberal, even as the shady cue is rejected. Using three national survey-<br>experiments we randomly varied a candidate{\textquoteright}s Jewish identity, ideology, and shadiness. The cue to the rejected social<br>stereotype indeed activates the more legitimate political stereotype. Moreover, voters give more weight to the candidate{\textquoteright}s<br>perceived liberalism in their evaluation. Consequently, the candidate{\textquoteright}s support suffers. However, when the candidate takes<br>a more extreme ideological position on issues, the effects disappear. The indirect influence of discredited stereotypes and the<br>limits of those stereotypes have implications for our understanding of voting and of the legacies of discrimination.</p>},
