The following pairs were used: lazy/hardworking, unreliable/dependable, undisciplined/disciplined, violent/peaceful, unintelligent/intelligent, poor/rich, immoral/moral, unsuccessful/successful, untidy/neat, naïve/sophisticated, criminal/law-abiding (Attitude Towards Suspect: M = 3.75, SD = 1.11, α = 0.93; Attitude Towards Victim: M = 3.29, SD = 1.10, α = 0.94).…”
