Activity: Implicit Association Test

| 0 Comments
The IAT is a test designed to measure implicit (we don't know we have them) attitudes about other groups or concepts.

You should go to the website http://implicit.harvard.edu and click on "demonstration". [on your own, feel free to go to the 'research' site and participate in research using the IAT on many different topics--you should do this after you have done the demonstration site].

Read the information and then click on 'go to the demonstration tests'.

read the information and click 'i wish to proceed'

Take one of the IAT tests (race, gender, presidential, age), and then write about your experience. Were you surprised at the results? Were you uncomfortable with the findings? How does the information on your scoring on the IAT affect your explicit attitudes? Your explicit behaviors?

Feel free to take other IAT versions as well.
