 The relative power and status of employees in a company was additionally assessed with high accuracy by observers who were given a one-minute clip of the employees engaging in a puzzle task.Perhaps because of the significant social consequences of appearing prejudiced towards racial minorities, objective observers are extremely accurate in assessing racial bias during silenced thin-slice clips.In one study, naïve judges were given twenty-second clips of a white subject interacting with either a white or black confederate, and observers were able to accurately assess racial bias as well as negative effect even when the clip did not include information about the race of the confederate that the subject was interacting with.
