When affirmative action policies target more than one disadvantaged group, they contain uncertainty as to whether an … individual who belongs to one of these groups was actually favored. In a laboratory experiment, we study how this feature affects … identity that triggers affirmative action is made salient, affirmed individuals are wrongly perceived as less competent, both …

And how might such uncertainty be mitigated---or exacerbated---by non-observable, pro-social behavioral … characteristics? We address these questions by designing a simple modified trust game with uncertainty and the capacity for principals …
