Feedback:
During the Implicit Association Test (IAT) you just completed:
You were much faster at sorting ‘White people’ with ‘Bad’ and ‘Black people’ with ‘Good’ than ‘Black people’ with ‘Bad’ and ‘White people’ with ‘Good’
Assignment:
Now that you have taken an IAT, consider the feedback that you received. Write a paragraph or two in which you analyze your IAT feedback by relying on social psychological theories of stereotyping and prejudice. What do you think your score reveals about you? Does your feedback match what you would have guessed about yourself? Do you trust this form of measurement? Why or why not? Which theory or approach discussed in this module (e.g., modern racism, modern sexism, ambivalent sexism, the economic approach & realistic group conflict, the cognitive approach, the motivational approach & social identity theory, the functional approach, the normative approach) can best explain your score? Why? In your writing, please shoot for a word count of roughly 250-350 substantive words.
