The aim of paper is to analyze the experience of the experimental studying of attitudes by implicit methods in social sciences. It is an experience of collaborative research of graduates and professors to develop a new tool - experimental procedures of the implicit association test and unconscious priming to measure various psychological constructs.The involvement of students into the creative atmosphere underpins the formation of a creative, competent and responsible psychologist who could learn how to work in any field of psychology. The concisely presented results of empirical research are focused on the study of ethnic attitudes, hardiness, gambling addiction and addiction to alcohol with implicit methods and self-assessment procedures. On the example of gambling addiction considered in detail,the benefits of implicit measurements were revealed. Implicit methods are successfully used not only in social psychology and its applied fields, but also in pedagogy (in revealing creative abilities).

Implicit Methods for Studying Attitudes: Modern Approach to Research in Social Sciences

The importance of studying attitudes towards gambling has been recently recognized in the field of gambling. Research aim is to examine whether non-gamblers and gamblers exhibit both positive and negative implicit attitudes towards gambling-related stimuli. Research questions: (I) What is the valence of implicit associations with gambling among gamblers and non-gamblers? (II) Are the differences in attitudes towards gambling revealed by explicit and implicit methods among gamblers and non–gamblers? (III) Is there a consistency between results obtained by implicit measures and explicit measures of attitude towards gambling? Methods: Participants - 98, age 18-58, Mdn=34 years. Groups: Social Gamblers – 24, Problem Gamblers – 25, Non-Gamblers – 49. Implicit measures: Modified version of Single-Category Implicit Association Test (SC-IAT). Explicit measures: “Gambling Attitudes and Beliefs (GABS)” and “Gamblers anonymous twenty questions (GA-20)”. Results and Conclusions. (I) Both positive and negative implicit gambling associations were found in each of the groups. (II) Explicit attitudes towards gambling are most pronounced in social gamblers and most not pronounced in non-gamblers. Differences in implicit associations with gambling among the groups were not found. (III) In case of positive implicit associations, a negative correlation between the results of explicit and implicit measurements was found. It is possible that the use of negative implicit associations will contribute to the classification of gamblers with low, moderate and high risk.

Research of implicit attitudes towards gambling for gamblers and non-gamblers

The paper presents the experience of team research work aimed at experimental study of attitudes by modern implicit methods. Involvement of students in the creative atmosphere creates the basis for the formation of a creative, competent and responsible psychologist who can then learn how to work in any of the areas of psychology. The results of empirical studies aimed at understanding of ethnic attitudes, hardiness, gambling addiction, alcohol abuse by implicit methods and self-assessment procedures are presented.

Implicit measurements of attitudes – innovative approach in training of psychologists

Attitudes towards gambling have been mostly measured with explicit methods, although it has been stated that explicit attitude measures could have significant limitations due to the social desirability. The aim of research is to identify the valence of attitudes to gambling using implicit and explicit measurements in none-problem social gamblers, who regularly visit gaming establishments and people who do not go to the gaming establishments. Methods: Single-Category IAT; Breen and Zuckerman’s Gambling Attitudes and Beliefs Scale (GABS). Sample 50 participants. Age 18-45 (Me=31,5). Groups: “Gamblers” - casino visitors at least once a week, non-problem social gamblers - 25 and “Non-Gamblers” - 25. Results: GABS measures of attitudes expose that the attitudes’ to gambling level in the group “Gamblers” exceeds the attitudes’ to gambling level in the group „Non-Gamblers”. The positive and
