You Are Interested in Researching Whether People Have Internal Biases

Question 21

Essay

You are interested in researching whether people have internal biases against individuals who are overweight, but you are concerned about social desirability and participants "adjusting" their responses to appear less biased. How could you measure this bias indirectly or implicitly? In your response, (a) describe two different assessment methods you could use to assess participants' attitudes and/or emotional reactions to overweight people. Explain the basic features of each method, as well as how each method addresses the issue of social desirability. (b) For each method, provide an example study to illustrate how you would investigate attitudes toward overweight people - be sure to include a discussion and explanation of the technique you would use, what the dependent variable would be and how it would be measured, and what the expected results would be according to the methods you used (i.e., some people would be biased, others would not).
