Have you tried Dovidio?  I think there is a study like the one you mention
in which he is a co-author.

TIPsters....

I have a social psych question.

I have been blogging a lot lately about racism, and just finished a post on
subtle, subconscious racism.

Some years back I saw a talk by a job candidate in which she described the
following study:

Subjects were asked to rate resumes.  Some subjects saw a resume with a
traditional Caucasian name (Donald) while others saw the identical resume
with an African American name (Denzel).  The resumes with the Caucasian
names were rated higher.  

I am looking for a reference for this experiment.

I have found studies reporting a naturalistic version of this - in which
resumes were actually sent out to potential employers - but the study I am
thinking was experimental and done under controlled conditions.

Does anyone know a reference for the experiment I am describing?

In case you are interested my blog post on the topic is here:

Thanks!
