This question is missing the options. I've found the complete question online. It is as follows:
Very brief exposures to faces of people from different ethnic backgrounds (about whom one has a negative attitude) frequently causes people to respond faster to words with negative meanings than to words with positive meanings. This technique or type of research is known as:
a) bogus pipeline
b) bona fide pipeline
c) category activation
d) implicit racism
e) the superordinate memory effect
Answer:
The technique described is knows as b) bona fide pipeline.
Step-by-step explanation:
Russel Fazio developed the bona fide pipeline as a technique to assess attitudes and their relationship with behavior. A famous example is the study described in the passage. In this study, the subjects are exposed to pictures of people of different races briefly. Then, they are shown a word, to which they must react by pressing a button. There is a button that shows they perceive that word as good, and a button for when the word is bad. What this study shows is that, if people associate a race with "bad", they will more quickly recognize a word that is bad than they will a word that is good, since their brains have already been activated, so to speak, to the concept of bad.
