Assignment On IAT
Week 2 Assignment: IAT
*Do you agree with the results of your IAT?
I somewhat agree, but in reality in my opinion this test does not tell me or anyone as to what type of person that I am or may be. This in my opinion is just another statistical test to formulate percentages of what society wants. I agree because it was close in nature to my thoughts and other actions that I am as person is portrayed to be. This does not tell me what I as a person exactly thinks or may not think according to the subject at hand.
*If you are comfortable sharing, what was the result of your IAT? If you are not comfortable sharing, what was your impression of the IAT?
My overall impression of the IAT was that I had a good experience with the test and thought …show more content…
that it was a very interesting test at first, I myself enjoy completing test such as this even though I feel that it is still just for statistical purposes only, I have no problem taking any test of the sort because I know what type of person I am and what my thoughts are when it comes to test such as this.
Your data suggest a strong automatic preference for Thin People compared to Fat People.
Thank you for your participation. Just below is a breakdown of the scores generated by others. Most respondents find it easier to associate Fat people with Bad and Thin people with Good compared to the reverse. | |
Do you agree or disagree with the results?
I somewhat agree with the test because as I stated I know what type of person I am and I know how I see individuals and I don’t discriminate against anyone whether it be race or body type.
I know that no one is perfect and GOD didn’t intend for anyone to be perfect. No one has the right to judge anyone that it the reason that I don’t. The other reason is because of the way that I was raised and for the most part I have all sort of body types in my family and who’s to say that if I was a judgmental person that the person that I am judging is my own family member. I know that everyone has feelings and that feelings tend to get hurt and some people are more emotional than others. I know that judging people can lead to one committing …show more content…
suicide.
Do you think that the results are valid for you? Explain why or why not.
I don’t think that the results are valid simply because I am my own person and a test cannot validate who I am as a person or individual. Also as I stated once before; I think that the results are more for statistical reason only rather than for one’s own personal use. However, I do believe that for some the results might be of some validation for example the person or persons that created the test because they are the ones using the answers and responses to gain some type of purpose. I am the type of person that loves to take test such as this one because in a sense they are fun and as stated before that would be the only reason and nothing more than just that.
In your opinion, is prejudice easy or difficult to measure accurately?
Why?
I think that prejudice is easy to measure because at some point or another there are people that may like something about a person or may not like a person just because of something simple like the way that one wears their hair or the type of clothing that they might wear. Also as I have done research of how prejudice is measured I have gathered the following “As the fields of diversity research and practice in education have grown, the need for useful assessment tools also has increased (Garcia, Hudgins, McTighe Musil, Nettles, Sedlacek, & Smith, 2001; Hale 2004). We need to move beyond simple descriptive data to higher levels of thinking, planning, and executing our research and programs. The purpose of this article is to discuss five measurement methods that can be useful in various contexts in diversity work. They are all available at no cost and they allow for better assessment of our work for ourselves and for those we serve.” (William E. Sedlacek; University of
Maryland)
