Research has begun to reveal the malleability of implicit prejudice. One measure of this construct, the race Implicit Association Test (IAT), represents a widely-used tool to assess individuals' positive and negative associations with different racial groups. In two studies, we demonstrate the capacity of salient pressures to alter implicit racial responses. In Study 1, an enhancement of promot...

The implicit association test (IAT) is increasingly used to detect automatic attitudes. Yet a fundamental question remains about this measure: How well can it predict individual judgments? Though studies find that IAT scores shape individual evaluations, these inquiries do not account for an array of well-validated, theoretically relevant variables, thus raising the challenge of omitted variabl...

Early behavioral studies found that human adults responded faster to their own faces than faces of familiar others or strangers, a finding referred to as self-face advantage. Recent research suggests that the self-face advantage is mediated by implicit positive association with the self and is influenced by sociocultural experience. The current study investigated whether and how Christian belie...

Research using the Implicit Association Test (IAT) has shown that names labeled as Caucasian elicit more positive associations than names labeled as non-Caucasian. One interpretation of this result is that the IAT measures latent racial prejudice. An alternative explanation is that the result is due to differences in in-group/out-group membership. In this study, we conducted three different IAT...

Abstract Previous studies have found that implicit attitudes, in addition to explicit toward sports and exercise can help predict health-related behaviors. This study aimed explore the factors determine attitudes exercise. Using an online experiment, we investigated two types of exercise: desirability enjoyment. Implicit were measured using different Association Test (IAT) for joy. We examined ...

Research into individuals' intended behavior and performance has traditionally adopted explicitly measured, self-report constructs, and outcomes. More recently, research has shown that completing explicit self-report measures of constructs may effect subsequent behavior, termed the "mere measurement" effect. The aim of the present experiment was to investigate whether implicit measures of motiv...

Abstract People’s news diets are shaped by a diverse set of selection biases that may be unconscious in nature. This study investigates whether providing individuals with information about such attenuates selective exposure. More specifically, two selective-exposure experiments among Dutch ingroup members focusing on ethnic (N = 286) and religious 277) minorities, we expose to their prejudices ...

1 Stigmatized obese individuals tend to internalize the pervasive weight stigma which 2 might lead to self-discrimination and increased psychopathology. While explicit and 3 implicit weight stigma can be measured using self-report questionnaires and Implicit 4 Association Tests (IAT), respectively, the assessment of self-discrimination relied 5 solely on self-report. The present study sought to...

Blue-Green Infrastructure (BGI, including swales, green roofs, and wetlands) plays an important role in reducing vulnerability to climate change risks such as flooding, heat stress, water shortages, while enhancing urban environments quality of life for citizens. Understanding the perceptions that professional stakeholders have BGI is fundamental addressing barriers implementation. A novel appl...
