 Posted: Wed Jul 27, 2005 1:41 pm Post subject: Harvard's Implicit Association Tests
|
 |
|
Harvard has a virtual social and behavioral science lab that researches implicit social cognition. I read about it in Malcolm Gladwell's book, Blink. I decided to go to the site www.implicit.harvard.edu
to take a demonstration test. There are a lot of tests one can take including tests on associations with age, race, sexuality, and gender. Of course I took the Gender-Science Implicit Association Test. The expected findings are that people will have an association of male with science and female with liberal arts. I am happy to report that I had an association of female with science and male with liberal arts! Check out the tests. I plan on doing some others and figure that they will probably be more disappointing, as even if one would like to think that one doesn't have negative associations with old age, other races, or overweight people, it seems that most of us do, unconsciously(not the Freudian unconscious, but just that part of your mind you might not consciously know). |
