The Implicit Association Test and its variants have become pervasive measures of attitudes in a variety of domains and contexts. In two experiments, we provide evidence that a recent variant, the Personalized IAT developed by Olson and Fazio (2004) may more accurately detect changes in personal attitudes than the conventional Traditional IAT devised by Greenwald, McGhee, and Schwartz (1998). Ou...

Where knowledge fails controversies thrive. This applies particularly to techniques in evolution. Intra-arterial thrombolysis (IAT) for basilar artery thrombosis and stenting for asymptomatic carotid disease share 3 characteristics: they are operator-dependent, technology-intensive and expensive. Although IAT and stenting imply a similar approach, the clinical problems that they address differ ...

Background Internet addiction is a serious problem that can negatively impact both the physical and mental health of individuals. The Addiction Test (IAT) most common used instrument to screen internet worldwide. This study sought investigate psychometric properties an Indonesian version IAT. Methods IAT questionnaire was made focus forward translation, expert panel discussions, back item analy...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Intra-arterial therapy (IAT) is most effective when performed rapidly after ischemic stroke onset. However, there are limited performance benchmarks in IAT and there is a scarcity of information on how to structure an effective IAT protocol and its impact on time to treatment. The objective of our study was to detail a standardized IAT protocol, and to assess its influenc...

INTRODUCTION High blood pressure (BP) leads to target organ damage. It is suggested that regression of early organ lesions is possible on condition of BP normalization. The study objective was to assess whether permanent reduction of BP to the recommended values modifies renal vascular response to acute angiotensin II inhibition in the Doppler captopril test (DCT) in patients with essential hyp...

The aim of this study was to determine whether the predictive value of the intracarotid amobarbital test (IAT) for the side to be resected is applicable only to medial temporal lobe epilepsy and to investigate whether there are different patterns of memory performances on the IAT between patients with unilateral mesial temporal sclerosis (UMT group) and those without (non-UMT group). We studied...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Rapid recanalization might improve clinical outcomes after intraarterial thrombolysis (IAT) for acute ischemic stroke patients with collateral circulation. We determined whether rapid recanalization and collateral circulation affect clinical outcomes after IAT. METHODS We retrospectively evaluated the clinical and radiological data of 134 consecutive patients who underw...

Numeric values of psychological measures often have an arbitrary character before research has grounded their meanings, thereby providing what S. J. Messick (1995) called consequential validity (part of which H. Blanton and J. Jaccard, 2006, this issue, now identify as metric meaningfulness). Some measures are predisposed by their design to acquire meanings easily, an example being the sensitiv...
