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

A two-dimensional model that employs explicit and implicit attitudes to characterize prejudice.
TL;DR: In the authors' 2-dimensional model of prejudice, truly low prejudiced TLP, AR and MR strongly endorsed prejudice-related ideologies, were conservative, and demonstrated the attributional-ambiguity effect, which discussed implications for operationalizing and understanding the nature of prejudice.

The Implicit Association Test: A Method in Search of a Construct:
TL;DR: The evidence is reviewed and it is shown that there is insufficient evidence for the claim that the Implicit Association Test measures individual differences in implicit social cognition, and that the IAT can be used as a measure of sensitive attitudes to reduce measurement error by using a multimethod measurement model.

The Affect Misattribution Procedure: Ten Years of Evidence on Reliability, Validity, and Mechanisms

TL;DR: The AMP is one of the most widely used implicit attitude measures, and evidence regarding its reliability and validity has grown rapidly as mentioned in this paper, and the AMP can be used effectively for a wide variety of research purposes.

Humble persons are more helpful than less humble persons: Evidence from three studies
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed a helpfulness hypothesis based on the connection between humility and other prosocial qualities and found that more humble persons were more helpful than less humble persons.

TL;DR: Although neither the explicit nor implicit discrimination measures were associated with odds of being a current smoker, the excess risk for black participants rose in models that also controlled for the racial discrimination and psychosocial variables; additional control for socioeconomic position sharply reduced and rendered the association null.

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.

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.
