Implicit Association Test Gina Pylka ETH/125 October 27, 2013 Constance Dolecki Implicit Association Test I found taking a couple of the tests on the IAT homepage interesting. The test I took said I had an automatic preference for young compared to old. I found the results something to think about. I would of said I had no known preference. In examining our own prejudices I think we automatically respond in terms of race and ethnic backgrounds. There are so many other areas in life where

Implicit Association Test Susan Whitebird ETH/125 April 15, 2012 Jamie Fox I took the Skin-tone IAT. The results of my test were light skin- dark skin. Strong 30%, moderate 27% and slight 10%. I believe that the test did not produce valid results for me. I do not care what the color a person’s skin is; it is what is on the inside that counts. We could all be the same color on the outside, but all of us have a difference in opinion and a way of thinking on the inside. I do not

Implicit Association Test Weight Implicit Association Test measures the ability to distinguish the difference between people who are obese and people who are thin. It often reveals an automatic preference for thin people over fat people. I choose this test as I believe that weight is often judged incorrectly. Society tells the public that thin is beautiful through movies, television, magazines, and mass media. Skinny people are often branded as conceited, vain, mean, and superficial; heavy people

After taking part in the Implicit Association Test, where I chose to take the race test, my results suggest that I have a slight automatic preference for European Americans compared to African. Although it is difficult to admit, I would have to somewhat agree with these findings. Upon first seeing the results, my immediate thoughts, were, “this can’t be right!” I thought that, “this test doesn’t take into account a person’s mindset at the time their taking it or how alert they are.” Once

situations and areas. For example, the first test indicated that I strongly favored men and science. I don’t believe that’s a complete assessment but the sorting seemed a bit more catered to the result. I can only agree with the result based on how the test was structured. For example, the first test asked me to identify arts versus science categories. Then male against female names. There were a few names that could’ve gone both ways. I think the test analyses our tendencies toward certain categories

When I took the test my result was I had an automatic preference to straight people and I have to disagree with those results because I don’t care at all what your sexual preference is.

I believe I scored this way only because I was kind of slow responding and made some mistakes at some points but not because I was relating any of the words to the gay and straight words. I just made a simple mistake a couple of times. I don’t think a test, especially a test like that can measure

The Relationship between Attitudes and Behavior Attitude is holding a particular object in some degree of favor or disfavor. The attitude object can be a person, an event, an action or a thing. Previously it was believed that the inner dispositions are what controlled the actions of man. This is to say that man is rational with all behavior being deliberate. However, evidence has shown that this is not always the case and though attitude does influence behavior to an extent, it is not the only
