Stereotypes

• Implict Association Test (IAT) The following explanation is taken from different portions of the web site and edited for coherence:
  It is well known that people don't always 'speak their minds', and it is suspected that people don't always 'know their minds'. Understanding such divergences is important to scientific psychology.  This web site presents a new method that demonstrates public-private and conscious-unconscious divergences much more convincingly than has been possible with previous methods. This new method is called the Implicit Association Test, or IAT for short.  There are several different IATs on this site, including the Race ('Black-White') IAT.  This IAT requires the ability to distinguish faces of European and African origin and basic fluency in English.  The Black-White IAT may be our most distressing test because it indicates that most Americans have an automatic preference for White over Black.
