چکیده
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 influence of individual stimuli on IAT effects. Exploring implicit attitudes of East and West Germans, we systematically manipulated relatedness of target stimuli to the attribute dimension and, simultaneously, relatedness of attribute stimuli to the target dimension. Two experiments demonstrate the influence of stimulus associations as one source that drives IAT effects. Depending on the strength and the direction of these crosscategory associations, the result was either stronger IAT effects or a decline of IAT effects. Implications for theoretical models as well as for the interpretation of IAT effects are discussed.

120 words) Instructed male and female participants to produce an altered response pattern on an Implicit Association Test (IAT) measure of gender identity by slowing performance in trials requiring the same response to stimuli designating own gender and self. Participants’ faking success was found to be predictable by a measure of slowing relative to unfaked performances. This “combined task sl...
متن کاملPersonalizing the alcohol-IAT with individualized stimuli: relationship with drinking behavior and drinking-related problems.
Research aimed at uncovering implicit cognitive processes involved in alcohol use and abuse has demonstrated that implicit attitudes toward alcohol are negative and unrelated to drinking behavior. Here, it was examined whether these findings could be due to contamination of the IAT by extrapersonal associations that are irrelevant to behavior. Participants performed a traditional alcohol-IAT as...
متن کاملIAT Measures 1 Running head: IAT MEASURES Assessment of Individual Differences in Implicit Cognition: A review of IAT Measures
This review discusses basic features of Implicit Association Tests (IATs) that are relevant in order to estimate the suitability of IATs for the valid assessment of individual differences. We start with a description of the essential characteristics of the procedures of IATs and also refer to theoretical accounts for IAT effects. Then, we provide an overview of research on the psychometric prop...
متن کاملAn Implicit Measure of Associations with Mental Illness versus Physical Illness: Response Latency Decomposition and Stimuli Differential Functioning in Relation to IAT Order of Associative Conditions and Accuracy
The present study aimed at the definition of a latent measurement dimension underlying an implicit measure of automatic associations between the concept of mental illness and the psychosocial and biogenetic causal explanatory attributes. To this end, an Implicit Association Test (IAT) assessing the association between the Mental Illness and Physical Illness target categories to the Psychologica...
