Understanding the mechanisms that underlie the relations and interactions between members of different social groups is a central topic for social psychology and social neuroscience (Tajfel, 1982). Recently, psychologists, neuroscientists, and lawmakers have begun to explore the extent to which scien-tific progress can contribute to decision making in the legal system (Gazzaniga, 2008; Lane, Kang, & Banaji, 2007).
