Question

Imagine that sarah took the implicit association test (iat) and found that she responded faster when strong words were paired with male names, compared with when strong words were paired with female names. what does this finding suggest?

Answer 1

The implicit association test (iat) shows that Sarah “has a stereotype that men are stronger than women”.

The IAT is a test used in social psychology which is designed to measure a person’s association between mental representations of objects. In this case, Sarah responded faster when strong and male are paired together as compared to when strong and female is paired together.
