Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Implicit Association Test measures the strength of associations between concepts (in this case, gender and intelligence) by measuring reaction time. If Stanley holds the implicit attitude that men are smarter than women, he is likely to respond more slowly to pairings of a female face with the word smart, indicating a weaker association between women and intelligence. Therefore, option B is the correct answer. Option A and D would be true if Stanley had implicit beliefs that women are smarter than men. Option C is incorrect because it suggests that Stanley would respond more slowly to all pairings of female faces, which is not necessarily true.
