Implicit Association Test (IAT)
Social psychologists have developed an experimental method, called the Implicit Association Test, which determines how strongly a person automatically associates two concepts. This is done by measuring how quickly respondents can categorize the concepts when those concepts are split apart. The test is used to determine our automatic responses to people of different races, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, political leaning, etc.
The Implicit Association Test (IAT) measures the strength of associations between concepts (e.g., Flowers, Insects) and evaluations (e.g., good, bad) or stereotypes (e.g., safe, dangerous).
