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

TL;DR: A review of the comparative database from across the behavioral sciences suggests both that there is substantial variability in experimental results across populations and that WEIRD subjects are particularly unusual compared with the rest of the species – frequent outliers.

The Implicit Association Test at Age 7: A Methodological and Conceptual Review
TL;DR: In psychology, the ability to introspect comes with the palpable feeling of " knowing, " of being objective or certain, of being mentally in control of one's thoughts, aware of the causes of the thoughts, feelings, and actions, and of making decisions deliberately and rationally as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: The present research suggests that automatic and controlled intergroup biases can be modified through diversity education and suggests that these may effectively be changed through affective processes.

TL;DR: It is shown that attitudes can develop through implicit covariation detection in a new classical conditioning paradigm and attitudes toward the novel objects were influenced by the paired USs.

TL;DR: These reported experiments tested the hypothesis that automatic racial prejudice is subject to common social influence, and found that both tacit and expressed social influence reduced the expression of automatic prejudice, as assessed by two different measures of automatic attitudes.

Implicit attitudes towards homosexuality: reliability, validity, and controllability of the IAT
TL;DR: Two experiments were conducted to investigate the psychometric properties of an Implicit Association Test that was adapted to measure implicit attitudes towards homosexuality, and it was shown that uninformed participants were able to fake positive explicit but not implicit attitudes.

TL;DR: It seems appropriate to conclude that the IAT assesses constructs that are often (but not always) distinct from the corresponding constructs measured by self-report.
