Abstract: Arguably, one of the most thriving research areas in current psychology is assessing attitudes and related constructs with implicit measures, which we define as those indirect measures that rely on response latencies or other indices of spontaneous trait association, the activation of action semantics, or even real behavior. This research area is united by a shared excitement about the discoveries enabled by these measures, be they related to social attitudes and behavior, clinical disorders, consumer decisions, or self-representations, among others. As this enumeration suggests, in spite of the common excitement about the new research questions implicit measures allow us to investigate, there is much diversity in this research. First of all, these approaches bridge subdisciplines of psychology traditionally characterized by little cross-talk. Furthermore, the variety of implicit measures used is already broad and still growing, given variants and implementations of these implicit measures in different samples and research approaches. Given this diversity, we deemed it appropriate to summarize research that focuses either on the comparison of different implicit measures or on the mechanisms underlying one of the measures. Such knowledge is necessary and helpful to determine which

TL;DR: Preliminary findings support the premise that ketamine has rapid beneficial effects on suicidal cognition and warrants further study.

On the leaky math pipeline: Comparing implicit math-gender stereotypes and math withdrawal in female and male children and adolescents.
TL;DR: The authors found that implicit gender stereotypes are an important factor in the dropout of female students from math-intensive fields, and that these stereotypes predicted academic self-concepts, academic achievement, and enrollment preferences above and beyond explicit gender stereotypes.

An Assessment of Chronic Regulatory Focus Measures
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors assessed five different chronic regulatory focus measures using criteria of theoretical coverage, internal consistency, homogeneity, stability, and predictive ability and reveal a lack of convergence among the measures and variation in their performance along these criteria.

Separating Implicit Gender Stereotypes regarding Math and Language: Implicit Ability Stereotypes are Self-serving for Boys and Men, but not for Girls and Women
TL;DR: This article investigated implicit gender stereotypes related to math and language separately, using Go/No-go Association Tasks, and found that females revealed strong language-female stereotypes, whereas males showed language-male counterstereotypes.

Race and Racial Cognition

- 01 Sep 2010
TL;DR: The authors argued that the content of racial thought is not a simple product of one's social environment, but is also shaped by the operation of certain evolved psychological mechanisms, and pointed out where facts about the psychology of race could have an impact upon the feasibility of reform proposals offered by philosophers.

Measuring individual differences in implicit cognition: The implicit association test.
TL;DR: An implicit association test (IAT) measures differential association of 2 target concepts with an attribute when instructions oblige highly associated categories to share a response key, and performance is faster than when less associated categories share a key.

On the automatic activation of attitudes.
TL;DR: The authors found that attitudes characterized by a strong association between the attitude object and an evaluation of that object are capable of being activated from memory automatically upon the mere presentation of an attitude object.
Subtle and blatant prejudice in Western Europe
TL;DR: This article developed, measured, and tested two types of intergroup prejudice (blatant and subtle) and reported the properties, structure and correlates of both scales across the seven samples, and make initial checks on their validity.

A Meta-Analysis on the Correlation Between the Implicit Association Test and Explicit Self-Report Measures
TL;DR: The results suggest that implicit and explicit measures are generally related but that higher order inferences and lack of conceptual correspondence can reduce the influence of automatic associations on explicit self-reports.
