RT data were submitted to a 2 (Prime; black, white) × 2 (Target; gun, tool) × 3 (Beverage; alcohol, placebo, control) mixed-factorial ANOVA with repeated measures on the first two factors. Previous research has shown that participants are faster to categorize guns and slower to categorize tools on black-prime compared with white-prime trials (e.g., Amodio et al., 2004; Payne, 2001, 2005), revealing a stereotype-congruency effect. This Prime × Target interaction effect was replicated here, F(1, 64) = 20.2, p < .001, and was not moderated by beverage group, F(2, 64) = 1.63, p = .20 (see Figure 3A). Thus, as in previous work using a flanker task (Ridderinkhof et al., 2002) alcohol did not modulate typical reaction time congruency effects. Reaction times overall also did not differ as a function of beverage group (F < 1).
