Print and review your results. You must upload your results to Canvas in order to receive credit for this portion of the assignment.
Write a 1-2 paragraph statement sharing your reactions to your results. This must also be uploaded to Canvas.
Part II
Using your results from the IAT, you will determine what your implicit biases are and interview a person of that age, gender or ability using the questions below. You will also answer the questions for yourself. Once the questions have been answered, you will write a paper comparing your responses to the responses of the person you interviewed. There is not a page limit, but it must be thorough and in-depth. You will need to include your reaction to their responses and how they are the same or different from your own.You will also need to reflect on your experience doing the interview, and how it may or may not have changed an opinion you have or had about the other persons culture, gender, age or ability. Lastly, include why you think it would be important to reflect on your own upbringing and get to know the upbringing of the families in your schools.
Questions:
What year were you born?
How would you define your culture?
What is your birth order (first, middle, last)?
How did your birth order play a role in how you grew up (more responsibilities, less responsibilities, etc.)?
What were some of the beliefs and values of your family?
What are some stereotypes that people might have about your culture, race, and ethnicity? Did those positively or negatively impact you growing up?
What were some of your experiences in school? Were they positive or negative? How did they impact how you grew up?
Were there any community programs that you were involved in? What was your role?
Were there any world events happening that impacted how you grew up? What was the impact?
Do you still have some of the same beliefs and values now, as an adult?
What changed and stayed the same? Why?
Do you believe that your experiences and relationships played a role in how you developed your beliefs and values? Why or why not?

*Part one i did three IAT test for race, disability and wight and i will attached the result for the test so you can check it and Write 2 paragraph statement sharing my reactions to my results
*Part
tow as mentioned in the assignment you should do what mentioned in part
tow of the assignment. for clarification : interview a person with
another culture like Mexico and compare the result of 12
question mentioned in part tow and do the same for me (answer the 12
question) note that i have an Arab culture and my age is 53 years
You have completed the study.
Thank you for participating! The sorting test you just took is called the Speeded Judgment
Task. This task is also called Evaluative Priming. You categorized words as ‘Good’ or ‘Bad’,
and these words were shown after briefly seeing images related to disabled persons and
abled persons. Your result would be described as an ‘automatic preference’ for abled over
disabled persons if you were faster at categorizing ‘Good’ words when they appeared after
images related to abled persons versus disabled persons, and faster at categorizing ‘Bad’
words when they appeared after images related to disabled versus abled persons.
Conversely, your result would be described as an ‘automatic preference’ for disabled over
abled persons if you were faster at categorizing ‘Good’ words when they appeared after
images of disabled versus abled persons, and faster at categorizing ‘Bad’ words when they
appeared after images related to abled versus disabled persons.
Here is your result:
Your data suggest an automatic preference for Disabled Persons over Abled Persons.
Disclaimer:
These results are not a definitive assessment of your implicit preference. The results may be
influenced by variables related to the test (e.g., the category labels or particular items used
to represent the categories) or the person (e.g., how tired you are). The results are provided
for educational purposes only.
How Does Evaluative Priming Work?
Evaluative Priming measures the strength of associations between concepts (e.g., abled
persons, disabled persons) and attributes (e.g., good, bad). The main idea is that seeing
something positive should make it easier to then identify positive words, and seeing
something negative should make it easier to identify negative words. When people have an
easier time identifying positive words after images of one group compared to another, it may
indicate an automatic preference concerning attitudes about disability. Any single evaluative
priming measure is unlikely to predict behavior well for a specific individual. In the aggregate,
measures like evaluative priming can predict behavior such as discrimination in hiring and
promotion, medical treatment, and decisions related to criminal justice.
What Was This Study About?
In this study, we are investigating how people evaluate abled versus disabled persons. You
were asked to answer several questions relating to disability, and completed the evaluative
priming task. In this study, we are interested in seeing how your performance on the
evaluative priming task relates to the other questions we asked you. It could be that the
evaluative priming task is strongly associated with some types of items (like contact with
disabled persons) and not associated with other types of items (like policy-related beliefs).
I Still Have Questions About The Study.
If you have questions about evaluative priming and other measures of automatic
preferences, please check out our Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ). If you have any
questions or comments about the study, please email the lead investigator Jordan Axt

During the IAT you just completed:Race
Your responses suggested a slight automatic preference for European Americans over
African Americans.
Your result is described as an “Automatic preference for African Americans over
European Americans” if you were faster responding when African Americans and Good
are assigned to the same response key than when European Americans and Good were
classified with the same key. Your score is described as an “Automatic preference for
European Americans over African Americans” if the opposite occurred.
Your automatic preference may be described as “slight”, “moderate”, “strong”, or “no
preference”. This indicates the strength of your automatic preference.
During the IAT you just completed:
Your responses suggested a slight automatic preference for European Americans over
African Americans.
The sorting test you just took is called the Implicit Association Test (IAT). Half of you
completed the task for African Americans and European Americans, whereas the other
half completed the task for Black People and White people. You categorized good and
bad words with images of African Americans (or Black People) and European Americans
(or White People).
Disclaimer: The results are not a definitive assessment of your implicit preference. The
results may be influenced by variables related to the test (e.g., the category labels or
particular items used to represent the categories on the IAT) or the person (e.g., how tired
you are). The results are provided for educational purposes only.
The IAT requires a certain number of correct responses in order to get results. If you
made too many errors while completing the test you will get the feedback that there were
too many errors to determine a result.
You have completed the study.
During the IAT you just completed:
Your responses suggested a slight automatic preference for Thin people over Fat
people.
The sorting test you just took is called the Implicit Association Test (IAT). You categorized
good and bad words with images of Fat people and Thin people.
Disclaimer: The results are not a definitive assessment of your implicit preference. The
results may be influenced by variables related to the test (e.g., the category labels or
particular items used to represent the categories on the IAT) or the person (e.g., how tired
you are). The results are provided for educational purposes only.
How Does The IAT Work?
The IAT measures the strength of associations between concepts (e.g., Fat people and Thin
people) and evaluations (e.g., good, bad). The main idea is that making a response is easier
when closely related items share the same response key. We would say that one has an
implicit preference for Thin people relative to Fat people if they are faster to categorize words
when Thin people and Good share a response key relative to when Fat people and Good
share a response key.
Why Should I Care About My IAT Score?
Implicit preferences can predict behavior. Implicit preferences are related to discrimination in
hiring and promotion, medical treatment, and decisions related to criminal justice.
What Can I Do About an Implicit Preference That I Do Not Want?
Right now, there is not enough research to say for sure that implicit biases can be reduced,
let alone eliminated. Packaged “diversity trainings” generally do not use evidence-based
methods of reducing implicit biases. Therefore, we encourage people to instead focus on
strategies that deny implicit biases the chance to operate, such as blind auditions and welldesigned “structured” decision processes.
Other People’s Results
The summary of other people’s results shows that most people implicitly prefer thin people to
fat people – i.e., they are faster sorting when good words and thin images go with the same
key. Notably, about 40% of the people included in this graph report having no preference
between the two weight categories
What About Order Effects?
One very common question is about the order of the parts of the IAT. The answer is yes, the
order in which you take the test can influence your overall results. But, the effect is very
small. So if you first pair fat people + bad and then pair fat people + good, your results might
be just a tiny bit more negative than they would be if you had done the reverse pairing first.
One way that we try to minimize this order effect is by giving more practice trials before the
second pairing than we did before the first pairing. It is also important to know that each
participant is randomly assigned to an order, so half of test-takers complete fat people + bad
and then fat people + good, and the other half of test-takers get the opposite order.
