The reminded group is the experimental group because they are being reminded of a social stereotype they are likely to hold, which is the treatment in this experiment. The nonreminded group is the control group because they are not receiving any treatment, and their interactions with the member of the stereotyped group can be compared to the interactions of the experimental group to see if the reminder had an effect.
