This study assessed the reliability and validity of implicit social cognition measures. Findings show implicit measures are stable and correlate well, suggesting greater psychometric integrity than previously thought.

Area of Science:

  • Social Psychology
  • Psychometric Methods

Background:

  • Implicit social cognition measures are increasingly used.
  • Little research has focused on their reliability and validity.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the interitem consistency, stability, and convergent validity of implicit attitude measures.
  • To evaluate attitudes toward Black and White individuals.

Main Methods:

  • Four separate measurement occasions, 2 weeks apart.
  • Used three implicit measures: response-window evaluative priming, Implicit Association Test (IAT), and response-window IAT.
  • Included one explicit measure: Modern Racism Scale.
  • Latent variable analyses corrected for interitem inconsistency.

Main Results:

  • Stability indices improved after correcting for interitem inconsistency.
  • Implicit measures showed substantial correlations, forming a single latent factor.
  • Response-latency implicit measures demonstrated robust psychometric properties.

Conclusions:

  • Implicit measures of social cognition possess greater psychometric integrity than recent research suggests.
  • Findings support the reliability and validity of commonly used implicit attitude measures.
