Four disability exemplars were used: individuals with ... a) alcoholism, b) cancer, c) mental illness, and d) paraplegia. Two experiments found a difference in implicit attitudes expressed against each exemplar. Additionally, these implicit attitudes were not related to gender or race. The IAT demonstrated construct validity as it was related to a well accepted paper-and-pencil measure of the construct, the Interaction with Disabled Person's Scale (IDP; Gething, 1994). However, the IAT was susceptible to socially desirable responding and scores on the IAT went down over successive administrations calling into question the "implicit" nature of the measure.Citation DetailsTitle: Implementation of a Computer Based Implicit Association Test as a Measure of Attitudes toward Individuals with Disabilities.Author: Adrian ThomasPublication: The Journal of Rehabilitation (Magazine/Journal)Date: April 1, 2007Publisher: Thomson GaleVolume: 73 Issue: 2 Page: 3(12)Distributed by Thomson Gale |
