Intuition and literature on attribution of blame allows us to expect that if the perpetrator belongs to the negatively stereotyped category, this will increase the tendency to blame him or her. However, some researches suggest that it is not the rule. In some circumstances the person belonging to a stereotyped category tends to be judged similarly or even more favourably as someone outside this category. In the present article I discuss three processes underlying this phenomenon: systematic processing, correction (overcorrection) of the judgment, and an alternative way of using stereotype knowledge i.e. the belief that members of the stereotyped category rarely occur in the social environment of the observer.
