Harvard Implicit Association Tests
I did the Natives implicit association test at Harvard.
You have completed the Native Am.-White Am. IAT.
The line immediately below summarizes the results of your task performance.
Your data suggest a moderate association of White Am. with Foreign and Native Am. with American compared to Native Am. with Foreign and White Am. with American.
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.
This test measures the association between the social group 'Native American' and the attribute 'American.' Inherent in the name of the group itself lies the information that Native Americans are the original inhabitants of the continent of North America. The history of the group in the United States is unique in that a native population has rarely experienced its fate in modern history. In testing this association, we are prepared for the ironic possibility that Native Americans may not be as strongly associated with their own land as are the European-ancestry groups who displaced Native Americans from much of their original territory.
We have explicitly chosen to represent the category 'America' via icons and examples that are not biased in favor of White America -- for example, we do not use the American flag or monuments that are explicitly the creation of White Americans. You randomly received one of two versions of this task. One uses natural scenes from the American landscape that can easily be associated with Native Americans; the other uses names of cities and states in which the names have Native American origins (e.g., Seattle). The selection of these stimuli provides full opportunity to reveal an association between Native Americans and their country.
Our early assessment is that, on average, it will be relatively harder for most Americans to associate Native Americans with America, although the bias may not be very large, perhaps given our choice of stimuli. As usual, after sufficient data collection we will report the overall effect from the test as well as data from groups that vary in demographics and in conscious attitudes and stereotypes.

I had to do this one three times over before I got this result! My first time, I had way too many mistakes. The second time, I completed the test successfully... but then accidentally clicked on a link to the FAQ, which automatically expired my session.
Harvard Implicit Association Tests
I did the skin tone implicit association test at Harvard.
You have completed the Darker Skin-Lighter Skin IAT.
The line immediately below summarizes the results of your task performance.
Your data suggest a strong automatic preference for Light Skin compared to Dark Skin.
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 Darker Skin' if you responded faster when Darker Skin faces and Good words were classified with the same key as opposed to Lighter Skin faces and Good words. It is marked 'automatic preference for Lighter Skin' if you were faster when giving the same response to Lighter Skin faces 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.'

The interpretation shown above is described as 'automatic preference for GAY PEOPLE' if you responded faster when GAY PEOPLE faces and Good words were classified with the same key as opposed to STRAIGHT PEOPLE faces and Bad words. It is marked 'automatic preference for STRAIGHT PEOPLE' if you were faster when giving the same response to STRAIGHT PEOPLE faces 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.'
Attitudes vary in the degree to which their expression is socially acceptable. For example, to express liking or favorability toward one's school or local sports team is socially acceptable just as it seems to be acceptable, in the appropriate circumstances, to express negative attitudes toward a rival school or sports team.
In recent years, it has become less socially acceptable to express negative attitudes toward some groups, for example groups defined by race or by physical disability. In this context, attitudes toward gay people are of special interest because laboratory studies show that the social acceptability of negative attitudes toward gays has changed relatively little in recent years. We also know that anti-gay attitudes are observed on measures of implicit attitude such as the IAT, and that a person's conscious and implicit attitudes toward gays are more often in agreement with each other than they are for some other socially significant domains.

Racial profiling as a term, has been introduced in recent years to capture an old practice among law enforcement agents, especially police and immigration and customs officials: the selective stopping, searching, and interrogating of individuals who hold membership in groups that are believed to be more likely to commit particular crimes. In a sense, when psychologists study the nature of stereotypes, they are studying exactly this process in general terms: the degree to which knowledge about a group influences judgments of individual members of the group.
The various mental abilities that underlie the function of identifying that x is a member of category X, and remembering what Category X does and represents are vital – the ability to perceive and categorize, to learn and remember are essential features of human intelligence. But these very same processes so fundamental to our daily mental functioning can be implicated in the denial of equally fundamental rights to people who are innocent bearers of markers of their social group. The many instances of people who are wrongly suspected and accused is too great to mention. We point to only one case that has come to represent the sad consequences of well-intentioned profiling. Police officers in New York shot and killed a citizen, Amadou Diallo, who they believed was reaching for a weapon. In fact, Amadou Diallo was reaching for his wallet to provide identification to the police officers.
Our position, perhaps an unpopular one, is that the unconscious roots of profiling lie in every mind. In the Race-Weapons test you completed, we provide the occasion for recognizing the automatic association between racial groups and weapons relative to harmless objects. The result of this test probably underestimates the true extent of this association. In order to give every benefit to obtaining the alternative association (African American and harmless objects), we explicitly included examples of weapons that are not associated with that group (e.g., bayonets, swords, bombs, axes). When we demonstrate the bias nevertheless, we are revealing the strong association between African Americans and harmful weapons.
Racial profiling is first and foremost a mental act that can, given a supportive environment, result in errors that were unintended by those who perform them. The protections against such errors, given its automatic nature, will need to be more serious than requesting individual citizens and especially agents of the state to "just say no" to profiling

It is marked 'automatic preference for Abled Persons' if you were faster when giving the same response to Abled Persons faces 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.'
Although the disabilities we depict in this test are physical, they have the potential to function as social stigmas. This test measures a likely indicator of such stigma in the form of an implicit bias against people with physical disability. Such bias may be present in persons who do not consciously hold any negative attitude toward the disabled. As such it is important to be vigilant about its power to potentially influence behavior toward those who are disabled, compared to those who do not have a disability.
The test represents the disabled category with symbols that are familiar from their uses as public signs. We contrast these signs with other, neutral, public symbols. Because physical disability has no borders, we have used symbols that should be recognizable internationally, permitting the test to be used world wide.

I did the Canadian-American implicit association test at Harvard.
You have completed the study
Thank you for your participation. In this study, we are investigating conscious and unconscious preferences for different topics varying in importance, familiarity, and relevance to the self. Your result, reported below, is already corrected for the order in which you performed the task.
Your data suggest a slight automatic preference for Canadian compared to American.
Depending on the magnitude of your result, your automatic associations may be described as 'slight,' 'moderate,' 'strong,' or 'little to no preference (or identity).' How implicit associations affect our judgments and behaviors is not well understood. Also, the score described above may be influenced by a number of variables including your familiarity with the categories and the particular items used to represent the categories. As such, the score should serve as an opportunity for self-reflection, not as a definitive assessment of your implicit thoughts or feelings. This and future research will clarify the way in which implicit thinking and feelings affects our perception, judgment, and action.
The topic of this task was randomly assigned to you from a list of approximately 100 topics. You are welcome to complete as many sessions as you wish, and every session will be a different topic. Some will be topics you have thought about many times, others might be new or unusual topics that you have not considered before. Just return to the login page and enter your email address to start again.
From this study, we hope to learn more about variations in conscious and unconscious thoughts and feelings that people have for a variety of domains. With this knowledge, we hope to better understand the nature of our preferences for domains that are familiar or unfamiliar to us. If you have unanswered questions about the task, please review background information about this research and follow the links to the questions of specific interest to you. Thanks again for your participation.
