TLDR
The results suggest that implicit and explicit measures are generally related but that higher order inferences and lack of conceptual correspondence can reduce the influence of automatic associations on explicit self-reports.Abstract:
Theoretically, low correlations between implicit and explicit measures can be due to (a) motivational biases in explicit self reports, (b) lack of introspective access to implicitly assessed representations, (c) factors influencing the retrieval of information from memory, (d) method-related characteristics of the two measures, or (e) complete independence of the underlying constructs. The present study addressed these questions from a meta-analytic perspective, investigating the correlation between the Implicit Association Test (IAT) and explicit self-report measures. Based on a sample of 126 studies, the mean effect size was .24, with approximately half of the variability across correlations attributable to moderator variables. Correlations systematically increased as a function of (a) increasing spontaneity of self-reports and (b) increasing conceptual correspondence between measures. These results suggest that implicit and explicit measures are generally related but that higher order inferences and lack of conceptual correspondence can reduce the influence of automatic associations on explicit self-reports.read more

First Thought, Best Thought: Positive Mood Maintains and Negative Mood Degrades Implicit-Explicit Attitude Correspondence:
TL;DR: It is predicted that participants exhibited a significant correspondence between implicit and explicit attitudes when in positive moods but not when in negative moods, and that this correspondence would be stronger among positive versus negative mood participants.

Implicit and explicit assessment of materialism: Associations with happiness and depression
TL;DR: In this article, the implicit assessment of the materialism, and the study of the links between psychological well-being and materialism were investigated, concluding greater psychological wellbeing as a consequence of the consumption of experiences, compared to consumption of materialistic goods.

Evaluations of People Depicted With Facial Disfigurement Compared to Those With Mobility Impairment

TL;DR: This paper found that implicit affective attitudes were more negative toward people with facial disfigurement than wheelchair users and were correlated with evaluation negativity, which could explain the evaluative differences between the two disadvantaged groups.

Sick in the head? Pathogen concerns bias implicit perceptions of mental illness.
Erik Lund,Ian A. Boggero +1 more
TL;DR: The authors found that mental illness was implicitly associated more with disease than danger, and this implicit association was exacerbated among people who have had their biological immune system activated by a recent illness, and experimentally priming disease salience increased implicit association between mental illness and disease.

On the Relationship Between Automatic Attitudes and Self-Reported Sexual Assault in Men

TL;DR: The novel implicit rape attitude assessment was significantly associated with the frequency of sexual assault perpetration in both samples and contributed unique variance in explaining sexual assault beyond rape myth acceptance and hostility toward women.

Measuring individual differences in implicit cognition: The implicit association test.
TL;DR: An implicit association test (IAT) measures differential association of 2 target concepts with an attribute when instructions oblige highly associated categories to share a response key, and performance is faster than when less associated categories share a key.

TL;DR: In this article, a review of available empirical research supports the contention that strong attitude-behavior relations can be obtained only under high correspondence between at least the target and action elements of the attitudinal and behavioral entities.

TL;DR: The present conclusion--that attitudes, self-esteem, and stereotypes have important implicit modes of operation--extends both the construct validity and predictive usefulness of these major theoretical constructs of social psychology.

Understanding and using the Implicit Association Test: I. An improved scoring algorithm.
TL;DR: The best-performing measure incorporates data from the IAT's practice trials, uses a metric that is calibrated by each respondent's latency variability, and includes a latency penalty for errors, and strongly outperforms the earlier (conventional) procedure.
