Exercise 3: Implicit Association Test I took two Implicit Associations Tests; the first regarding weight and whether or not I prefer fat people or skinny people‚ and the second regarding whether or not I prefer homosexual or heterosexual people. I was a bit confused over the way these tests work‚ and found my results to be strange (or rather‚ didn’t understand where the results really came from). The first IAT interpreted that I have no implicit preference for skinny people over fat people‚ while

The Implicit Association Test is an examination which evaluates associations among notions by measuring how rapidly individuals can classify for instance‚ decent and moral words with people appearing as Anglos compared to African Americans. The test evaluates strong points of instinctive connotations which people have in their minds.

In their study‚ Freng and Kehn (2013) described the use of Implicit Association Test (IAT) to test the accuracy of the eyewitness testimony. IUT has been proven to be a highly effective tool to “distinguish between information witnessed during a previous event and information that was not witnessed” (Freng and Kehn‚ 2013‚ p.5). the purpose of this study is to create a modified version of the test and distinguish what the participants witnessed versus did not witness.

I performed the light skinned versus dark skinned test on IAT. The results from my test showed that I favor dark skinned versus light skinned people. I do think the test produced valid results. I have a sister that is a darker skinned African American. I watched people treat her different than myself growing up. I have always made a conscious effect to make sure I block those negative prejudices. I think it is possible to point out prejudice but not to accurately measure them. I feel there is no

White Privilege and Implicit Racism Racism doesn’t exist anymore right? The KKK isn’t roaming the streets lynching here and there. People aren’t glaring at black people as they walk past innocently. Bathrooms and water fountains are no longer segregated. It’s true that explicit racism no longer exists (in most parts of the world) but a topic many people avoid is white privilege. How a child’s life can be altered from the day they are born based on the colour of their skin. I believe that this issue

Although it may only be buried deep in the subconscious and implicit‚ nearly all people hold prejudiced views towards a specific race‚ ethnicity‚ sexual orientation‚ religion‚ etc. However‚ because it is not obvious on the surface‚ many deny that they feel this way‚ but it is through tests like the Project Implicit at Harvard that true beliefs can be uncovered. The particular study on Race involved answering numerous questions about personal beliefs towards African Americans and European Americans

The Implicit-association test (IAT) measures social psychology by detecting the strength of a person’s automatic association between mental representations of concepts in memory. Three sources of evidence that the IAT measures attitudes that are predictive of behavior are: valence‚ stereotype‚ and self-esteem. Valence measures associations between concepts and positive (intrinsic attractiveness) or negative valence (aversiveness). For example‚ the Race IAT depicts that nonwhite individuals have an
