The Implicit Association Test (Greenwald, McGhee, & Schwartz, 1998) is a categorization task intended to measure the strength of associations between concepts. The present research investigated the inXuence of individual stimuli on IAT eVects. Exploring implicit attitudes of East and West Germans, we systematically manipulated relatedness of target stimuli to the attribute dimension and, simult...

The link between religion and work is not new. For centuries, people have strived to interpret their work through religious lenses. Recently, however, a significant paradigm shift has occurred. The current view is that spirituality, as opposed to religion, is a better construct for understanding the relationship between the individual and modern pluralistic workplaces. This current perspective,...

This article argues for the vulnerability of managerial work to unintended forms of racial and other bias. Recent insights into “implicit social cognition” are summarized, highlighting the prevalence of those mental processes that are relatively unconscious and automatic, and employed in understanding the self and others. Evidence from a response-time measure of implicit bias, the Implicit Asso...

In reporting Implicit Association Test (IAT) results, researchers have most often used scoring conventions described in the first publication of the IAT (A. G. Greenwald, D. E. McGhee, & J. L. K. Schwartz, 1998). Demonstration IATs available on the Internet have produced large data sets that were used in the current article to evaluate alternative scoring procedures. Candidate new algorithms we...

Formaldehyde is used as a probe of the dynamic behavior of native DNA. We first show experimentally how initial denaturation rates vary with temperature, formaldehyde concentration, DNA melting temperature, and DNA molecular weight. Electron microscopy of DNA from the initial phases of the reaction verifies that denaturation initiates a t AT-rich regions in the interior of the DNA molecule. The...

In the framework of a comprehensive theory for a new class of evolutionary problems wellposedness of associated initial boundary value problems is considered. The dynamic linear model for electroseismic waves in anisotropic, inhomogeneous, time-shift invariant media is used as an illustration of the theory.
