Five green tiles in a word / Harvard / Quizzes

I have just used five green tiles to make a word in Bookworm for the first time. Unfortunately, I didn't get a yellow tile for making the word "money" with them. Oh well. :D


More Harvard Implicit Association tests for Arab-Muslims, presidents, and Asians / Americans!

Harvard Implicit Association Tests

I did the Arab-Muslim implicit association test at Harvard.

You have completed the Arab Muslims-Other People IAT.
The line immediately below summarizes the results of your task performance.
Your data suggest little to no automatic preference between Arab Muslims and Other People.

If your feedback was 'The result could not be determined,' click here.

Your result, reported above, is already corrected for the order in which you took the parts of the IAT. If you have a question about the effect of order, please read the answer to FAQ 1 on the page of FAQs for this test.

The interpretation shown above is described as 'automatic preference for Arab Muslims' if you responded faster when Arab Muslims and Good words were classified with the same key as opposed to Other People and Good words. It is marked 'automatic preference for Other Peoples' if you were faster when giving the same response to Other People and Good words. Depending on the magnitude of your result, your automatic preference may be described as 'slight,' 'moderate,' 'strong,' or 'little to no preference.'

This new test was prompted by the events of September 11, 2001. Suicide pilots, identified as Arab Muslims, crashed airplanes into the World Trade Centers in New York City and the Pentagon in Washington, D.C. killing about 4,000 people. That attack, and the military response by the United States and other countries in Afghanistan have surely influenced conscious and unconscious beliefs and attitudes.

We constructed this test of attitude toward Arab Muslims relative to a category consisting of 'Other People' from around the world. Unfortunately, we do not have data on implicit attitudes toward Arab Muslims prior to September 11, with which the attitudes since can be compared. Nevertheless, we introduce this test because we expect that the events of September 11 and its aftermath open a new chapter in the history of the relations among world communities that differ in religious, political, and social ideology. As with other tests at this site, this one may provide insight into implicit attitudes that may not be in line with conscious attitudes or desired attitudes.

Harvard Implicit Association Tests

I did the Presidents implicit association test at Harvard.

You have completed the Presidential Popularity IAT.
The line immediately below summarizes the results of your task performance.
Your data suggest a slight automatic preference for John F. Kennedy compared to George W. Bush.

If your feedback was 'The result could not be determined,' click here.

Your result, reported above, is already corrected for the order in which you took the parts of the IAT.

You performed a test measuring preferences for George Bush relative to a randomly assigned president or group of presidents. Your score was described as 'a preference for George Bush relative to another president' if you were faster responding when George Bush and pleasant-meaning words were assigned to the same key than when giving the same response to the other president(s) and pleasant-meaning words. Conversely, your score was described as 'a preference for the other president(s) relative to George Bush' if you were faster responding when the other president(s) and pleasant words were assigned to the same key. 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.'

Harvard Implicit Association Tests

I did the Asian American implicit association test at Harvard.

You have completed the Asian American-European American IAT.
The line immediately below summarizes the results of your task performance.
Your data suggest little or no association between Asian American and European American with American and Foreign.

If your feedback was 'The result could not be determined,' click here.

Your result, reported above, is already corrected for the order in which you took the parts of the IAT. If you have a question about the effect of order, please read the answer to FAQ 1 on the page of FAQs for this test.

In evidence from the laboratory, most people show a moderate or strong unconscious bias associating faces of European descent with American and not faces of Asian descent, even among those who do not self-report such a bias.

I sucked hardcore at that last one. Who knew distinguishing faces and landmarks could be so hard? Although now I think I know why so many women considered JFK to be so sexy... o_O
