Exercise 5

Although most suspects in cases of incest, child molestation, and sexual abuse are heterosexual males, the local newspaper omits the word "heterosexual" in any related headlines. In contrast, whenever a self-described gay male is arrested for a crime, the headline proclaims "homosexual arrested". The resulting prejudice that gay males are more likely to commit violent crimes can in part be blamed on
A) an illusory correlation.
B) ingroup bias.
C) outgroup homogeneity effects.
D) group-serving biases.
