The Implicit Association Test (IAT) is widely used in psychology. Unfortunately, the IAT cannot be run within online surveys, requiring researchers who conduct surveys to rely on third-party tools. We introduce a novel method for constructing IATs using survey software (Qualtrics); we then empirically assess its validity. Study 1 (student n = 239) found good psychometric properties, expected effects, and correlations with explicit measures survey-software IATs. 2 (MTurk 818) predicted...
