Document Summary
Article 2: measuring individual differences in implicit cognition: the implicit association test. Discussion- experiment 1: experiment 1 tested the principal assumption underlying the implicit association test: that mapping two discrimination tasks alternately onto a single pair of responses can reveal associations. Iat compared with explicit measures: perhaps the most noteworthy result in the table is that the iat"s measure of ethnic attitudes discriminated korean from in table 4. All but one correlation was in the expected positive direction. Surprisingly, the semantic differential was uncorrelated with the two iat measures: this observation strongly suggests that the se- mantic differential and the iat measured different constructs. Iat differentiation between the korean and japanese subsamples was greater with higher immersion in asian culture. The feeling thermometer explicit measure was correlated more highly with the iat measure. White over black, manifest as faster responding for the white + pleasant combination than for the black +pleasant combination.
