Area of Science:

Psychology
Cognitive Science

Background:

The Implicit Association Test (IAT) is a key tool for assessing implicit attitudes.
Most IAT experiments traditionally utilize PC-based Inquisit software.

Purpose of the Study:

To introduce a method for conducting IAT experiments on Macintosh computers using PsyScope.
To demonstrate the compatibility of PsyScope-based IAT data with SPSS for analysis.

Main Methods:

Development of a PsyScope script for running IAT experiments on Macintosh systems.
Description of data import procedures into SPSS for statistical analysis.
Comparison of IAT sensitivity between the PsyScope (Macintosh) and Inquisit (PC) versions.

Main Results:

The Macintosh version of the IAT using PsyScope demonstrated comparable sensitivity to the PC version in measuring implicit self-esteem.
PsyScope provides a viable, free alternative for conducting IAT research on Macintosh platforms.

Conclusions:

PsyScope offers a flexible and accessible platform for IAT research on Macintosh computers.
The developed method facilitates the analysis of IAT data using standard statistical software like SPSS.
