Interest in unintended discrimination that can result from implicit attitudes and stereotypes (implicit biases) has stimulated many research investigations. Much of this used the Implicit Association Test (IAT) to measure association strengths are presumed underlie biases. It had been more than a decade since last published treatment recommended best practices for using IAT measures. After an initial draft by first author, continuing through three subsequent drafts, 22 authors 14 commenters...
We describe Affect 4.0, a user-friendly software package for implementing psychological and psychophysiological experiments. 4.0 can be used to present visual, acoustic, and/or tactile stimuli in highly complex (i.e., semirandomized response-contingent) sequences. is capable of registering response latencies analog behavioral input with millisecond accuracy. available free charge.
Cognitive theories on deception posit that lying requires more cognitive resources than telling the truth. In line with this idea, it has been demonstrated deceptive responses are typically associated increased response times and higher error rates compared to truthful responses. Although cost of assumed be resistant practice, recently shown people who trained lie can reduce cost. present study (n = 42), we further explored effects practice one's ability by manipulating proportions...
We introduce the Relational Responding Task (RRT) as a tool for capturing beliefs at implicit level. Flemish participants were asked to respond if they believed that people are more intelligent than immigrants (e.g., "true" statement "Flemish wiser immigrants") or dumber immigrants"). The difference in performance between these two tasks correlated with ratings of extent which explicitly endorsed belief and questionnaire measures subtle blatant racism. current study provides first step...
Body dissatisfaction (i.e., a negative attitude towards one's own physical appearance) is assumed to originate from perceived discrepancy between the actual appearance body image) and desired ideal state of image). We assessed implicit beliefs about these two aspects image independently using Relational Responding Tasks (RRT) in sample participants who were either low or high explicitly reported dissatisfaction. As hypothesized, differences exerted differential influence on RRT scores. The...
Bargh, Chaiken, Raymond and Hymes (1996) showed that participants need less time to name a target word if is preceded by prime with the same valence compared when different valence. However, recent studies raise serious doubts about robustness reliability of affective priming effect in word-word naming task. We report three which modality primes targets was manipulated (words vs. pictures). Results show replicable responses can be obtained pictures are used as but not words primes. These...
Recent studies have shown that robust affective priming effects can be obtained when participants are required to categorize the targets on basis of their valence, but not asked nonaffective features. On this pattern results, it has been argued is due processes operate at a response selection stage rather than an encoding stage. We demonstrate (a) semantic categorization responses assign attention stimulus dimension, and (b) in standard evaluative task strongly reduced these findings, we...
[Version 3 (uploaded 21 April 2020) provides corrected list of co-authors and commenters; the ms. is otherwise unchanged from Versions 1 2.] Scientific interest in unintended discrimination that can result implicit attitudes stereotypes (implicit biases) has produced a large corpus empirical findings. In addition to much evidence for validity usefulness Implicit Association Test (IAT) measures, there have been psychological critiques findings theoretical disagreements about interpretation...
Affective priming studies have demonstrated that subliminally presented prime words can exert an influence on responses towards positive or negative target stimuli. In the present series of experiments, it was investigated whether these findings be extended to pictorial Ideographically selected positive, neutral, and picture primes were sandwich-masked immediately preceded pictures (Experiment 1) (Experiments 2 & 3). Evaluative categorization stimuli significantly influenced by valence...
In the affective-priming paradigm, target stimuli are preceded by evaluatively polarized prime and then to be classified as either good or bad fast possible. The typical robust finding is assimilation: Primes facilitate processing of consistent targets relative inconsistent targets. Nevertheless, contrast effects have repeatedly been observed. authors propose a new psychophysical account normal (assimilative) reversed (contrastive) priming test predictions derived from it in 5 studies:...
We examined whether implicit measures of actual and ideal body image can be used to predict dissatisfaction in young female adults. Participants completed two Implicit Relational Assessment Procedures (IRAPs) examine their beliefs concerning (e.g., I am thin) desired want thin). Body was via self-report questionnaires rating scales. As expected, differences exerted a differential influence on the IRAP scores. Specifically, belief that one is thin lower participants who exhibited high degree...
In a recent series of studies, it was demonstrated that originally neutral stimuli were predictive an electrocutaneous stimulus in differential aversive conditioning procedure not only acquired "signal-value" but also negative affective valence. These changes evident from the evaluative ratings scales, data priming procedure. This response-latency based has recently been employed as indirect and unobtrusive index valence (attitudes) (e.g., Fazio, Jackson, Dunton, & Williams, 1995). present...
Bargh, Chaiken, Raymond, and Hymes (1996) Hermans, De Houwer, Eelen (1994) showed that a valenced target word is pronounced faster after the presentation of an affectively related prime than unrelated word. This finding important because it provides crucial evidence for hypotheses stimulus evaluation (a) goal-independent (b) facilitates encoding stimuli have same valence. However, recent studies indicate affective priming effect not reliable in standard pronunciation task. We report results...
