Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Implicit Association Test (IAT) makes use of the fact that people's automatic reactions often provide the most valid indicator of what they actually believe. Option A is incorrect because the test does not use questions such as "Would you prefer interacting with a member of Group X rather than Group Y?" Instead, it measures the strength of associations between concepts (e.g., black people/good vs. white people/bad) and reaction times. Option C is partly true in that the IAT was developed to measure implicit biases, but it was not developed as a reaction to people's frank and uncensored responses regarding their racial attitudes. Option D is incorrect because the IAT demonstrates that people can have implicit biases even if they are not consciously aware of it.
