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.

Can implicit measures detect source information in crime-related amnesia?

TL;DR: It is found that simulators were able to discriminate the content of their self-generated feigned story of the crime from the original version and were quicker than confessors at the aIAT task.

Transcutaneous Vagus Nerve Stimulation Affects Implicit Spiritual Self-Representations

TL;DR: Assessing how implicit and explicit religious or spiritual representations are modulated by transcutaneous Vagus Nerve Stimulation (tVNS), a novel non-invasive method to stimulate subcortical and medial cortical structures sheds new light on the neurobiological mechanisms of implicit spirituality.

Do people realize how their partners make them feel? Relationship enhancement motives and stress determine the link between implicitly assessed partner attitudes and relationship satisfaction.

TL;DR: These studies help explain why automatic partner attitudes predict self-reported relationship satisfaction over time and provide support for theories of social cognition suggesting that people have access to implicitly assessed attitudes that is obscured by motivations and opportunities to deliberate.

Individual difference predictors of well-being among displaced persons who live under stressful conditions

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the impact of the displacement situation on prejudices and the possibility of forgiveness after conflict and violence between groups of people, and revealed the significant role played by positive relation domains of psychological well-being in improving resilience and forgiveness.

Attitude and key word signing usage in support staff

TL;DR: The train-the-trainer system may not reach its full potential as 2HT knew fewer distinct signs and consequently produced fewer signed utterances than 1HT, and no relation was found between explicit attitude and KWS usage.

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.

Attitude-behavior relations: A theoretical analysis and review of empirical research.

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.

Implicit Social Cognition: Attitudes, Self-Esteem, and Stereotypes.

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.
