 abstract = {The linguistic expectancy bias (LEB) refers to the tendency to describe expectancy                consistent information at a higher level of linguistic abstraction than expectancy                inconsistent information. Two experiments examined the influence of the social                communicative context on the production of this linguistic bias by manipulating the                group membership of the actor in, and the recipient of, stereotypical information.                Results supported the prediction that an LEB effect based on stereotypes is                especially pronounced in an intergroup social communicative context in which either                the actor in or the recipient of the stereotypical information is an outgroup member.},
