Implicit Association Test Essay

Description

Please add more words to make it 600 words max.

Please follow the link to Harvard’s Implicit Association Test.

https://implicit.harvard.edu/implicit/

There are 14 different tests but for the sake of this assignment, please take one of three listed below:

Gender/Science IAT

skin-tone IAT

Weight IAT

Everyone will take the test but the paper can be in lieu of a reaction paper.

You are welcome to use the results of your test along with one peer-reviewed journal article to discuss Implicit attitudes. You will need to make an argument in your paper for or against something (e.g. how implicit attitudes perpetuate discrimination or how implicit attitudes can affect performance and keep populations impoverished).

The paper will need to be 600-word minimum and meet the same standards as a reaction paper. I will mark down heavily for improper citing and references, and for being disorganized (thesis, intro, body, conclusion).
