Arla is a 30-something, white female who works in an office downtown. She saw a pizza delivery person being beaten for his pizza and cash. Based on the own-race bias, she will be most accurate in recognizing the culprit if the suspect is
 
  a. Hispanic.
  b. African American.
  c. female.
  d. 30-something.

Question 2

One explanation for own-race bias is that when people look at faces of their own race, they focus on the features that distinguish the face from the other faces in the group; when they look at faces of people of other races,
 
  they focus on the features that distinguish that race from other races. This distinction between how people view their own group and how they view other races is most reminiscent of
  a. the in-group favorability bias.
  b. the out-group homogeneity bias.
  c. the ultimate attribution error.
  d. the illusory correlation.
