Project Implicit

hmmm..


You have completed the study.

Thank you for your participation.

In this study, We are investigating the relation between racial attitudes and judgment of facial expressions of white and black faces.

First, in the Race detection task you rated faces as Caucasian or African American. These faces had ambiguous race features and some had positive expressions and others had negative expressions. Presenting them very briefly might make it harder to really consider them, so implicit associations about the expressions might influence what race we see. The second and third tasks, described below, measured implicit associations. Our key question is whether people with more negative associations with Black faces will be more likely to see an ambiguous angry face as Black."

Here are your judgments after each facial expression:

Of the ambiguous happy faces, 28 were seen as 'African American'.
Of the ambiguous angry faces, 28 were seen as 'African American'.

After the faces task, we measured your implicit preferences with regard to black and white people using two different tasks. Your results on the Implicit Association Test (IAT) is reported immediately below:

Your data suggest little to no automatic preference between White People and Black People.

Your score was described as 'preference for Black People over White People' if you were faster responding when Black People and Good stimuli were assigned to the same key than when giving the same response to the White People and Good stimuli. Conversely, your score was described as 'preference for White People over Black People' if you were faster responding when White People and Good stimuli were assigned to the same key than when giving the same response to the Black People and Good stimuli. Depending on the magnitude of your speed difference for the two combination tasks, your automatic association may be described as 'slight', 'moderate', 'strong', or 'little to no association.'

The Single Category Implicit Association Test is similar to the IAT, but it measures your attitude toward only one social group. Here is your score in that task:

Your data suggest a strong automatic association of Black people with Good.

Important: The results of all tasks are not a definitive assessment of your implicit race-attitudes. The results may be influenced by a number of variables, such as the order that the measures were presented, or the particular items used to represent the categories.
