Abstract

Rap music is disproportionately associated with criminality and negative personality traits relative to other genres and that these biases may be influenced by racial- and gender-based stereotypes. The present research is a replication-extension of Fischoff’s (1999) study, which examined potential jurors’ perceptions of a male gangsta-rap lyricist on trial for murder. We examined whether a description of a hypothetical rap music fan will (1) receive more negative personality ratings and associations with criminality when presented alongside inflammatory rap lyrics and (2) whether the gender of the rap fan influences these ratings.
