Where can I find technical discussion of implicit social cognition and the IAT?
Papers from the laboratories of the principal investigators are available at http://projectimplicit.net/ and at the researcher’s personal pages. For starters, an overview of the topic of ‘implicit social cognition’ is available in an article by Greenwald & Banaji in Psychological Review, (1995), and in a second paper also appearing in Psychological Review (2002). The first publication of the IAT was in an article by Greenwald, McGhee, & Schwartz in Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, (1998). A more recent paper by Nosek, Greenwald, & Banaji (in press) summarises what is known about the reliability and validity of the IAT. Anthony Greenwald’s website also has information on the validity of the IAT ( http://faculty.washington.edu/agg/iat_validity.htm. To learn about how to make an IAT and criticisms of the IAT see Lane et al.
