Implicit Association Test Paper

• The Implicit Association Test I took off the Project Implicit website was the Anxiety IAT: Do you implicitly associate yourself with being anxious or calm?
• The results of the Implicit Association Test for Anxiety suggest that I strongly identify more with calm than anxious.
• I did not believe that I was strongly associated with being calm than anxious because I have been told by employers that I have a demeanor of being calm in stressful situations while at that time I was extremely stressed out and put on a calm face for their sake.

Personally, I would have thought I would have moderately associated myself with calm than anxious over a strong association because I feel anxious a lot of the time but try to give an image or appearance of being calm to others around me so I do not make others as

While the test asks the participant to answer as quickly as possible, the participant will have the choice of hitting the “I” or “E” key on the keyboard. The “I” key will represent one of the categories, while the “E” key represents the opposite word association with the “I” key and words that do not pertain to self (not me, them, other and they). If the wrong key was hit, an “X” will appear on screen and the participant will have to select the other key as quickly as possible and continue with the study as fast as possible. This is done over six blocks and will alternate between the two categories resulting in each word association category to be tested three
