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

We (sometimes) know not how we feel: Predicting job performance with an implicit measure of trait affectivity.
TL;DR: The authors examined the relationship between trait affectivity and work performance and found that positive affectivity is positively related to task performance and citizenship behavior, whereas negative affectivity was negatively related to job performance and positively associated with counterproductive behavior.

Attribution of climate and human activities to vegetation change in China using machine learning techniques
TL;DR: Zhang et al. as mentioned in this paper analyzed the dynamic characteristics of vegetation area and greenness in China's ecological restoration engineering zones from 1990 to 2015, using Landsat TM/ETM/OLI images combined with a support vector machine (SVM) classification model.

Do implicit attitudes predict actual voting behavior particularly for undecided voters
TL;DR: It is proposed that greater elaboration of attitudes produces stronger convergence between implicit and explicit attitudes resulting in better predictive validity of both, and less incremental validity of implicit over explicit attitudes for the prediction of voting behavior.

“Mother Nature” enhances connectedness to nature and pro-environmental behavior
TL;DR: This article found that women and men agreed implicitly that women were more closely associated with nature than men through the Implicit Association Test and examined discriminant validity of nature's femininity and masculinity role by anthropomorphism and questionnaire.

Explicit (but not implicit) environmentalist identity predicts pro-environmental behavior and policy preferences
Cameron Brick,Calvin K. Lai +1 more
TL;DR: The authors used explicit and implicit environmentalist identity to predict self-reported environmental behaviors and policy preferences, and found that explicit identity strongly and uniquely predicted pro-environmental behaviors and policies, while implicit identity did not uniquely predict either.

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.
Icek Ajzen,Martin Fishbein +1 more
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.
