D) doing so can rule out the third-variable problem

Question 2

In the Correll et al. (2002) experiment on racial bias and shooting decisions (using a video game), college students were more likely to shoot unarmed Black suspects than unarmed White suspects. Police officers who took part in this experiment did not show exactly the same tendency as college students. What statement can you make about this finding?

A) Research with college students provides no benefits to this field.
B) You must be careful about generalizing findings about racial biases to other groups.
C) The data from police officers had lower internal validity than the data from college students.
D) Police officers are largely immune to racial bias.
