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.

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.

Understanding and using the Implicit Association Test: III. Meta-analysis of predictive validity.

TL;DR: A review of 122 research reports (184 independent samples, 14,900 subjects) found average r =.274 for prediction of behavioral, judgment, and physiological measures by Implicit Association Test (IAT) measures as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: An integrative review of the available evidence on implicit and explicit attitude change that is guided by a distinction between associative and propositional processes is provided.

An inkblot for attitudes: affect misattribution as implicit measurement.

TL;DR: The affect misattributions procedure (AMP) was sensitive to normatively favorable and unfavorable evaluations, and the misattribution effect was strong at both fast and slow presentation rates.

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: In this paper, existential guilt is defined as an intra-and inter-individual varying disposition to react with feelings of guilt to perceived differences between one's own favorable lot or position (ie, own privileges) and the unfavorable lot of others.

Explicit self-criticism and implicit self-regard: Evaluating self and friend in two cultures

TL;DR: This article found that people in some Asian cultures (e.g., Japan) often explicitly evaluate themselves negatively while implicitly maintaining positive self-evaluations, and that this pattern is quite common even outside of Asia, as long as the evaluations are assessed in the context of close, interdependent social relations.

Implicit Association Test: Separating Transsituationally Stable and Variable Components of Attitudes toward Gay Men

TL;DR: Using structural equation modeling, implicit attitudes towards gay men are decomposed into a person factor and a situational factor, which may not be adequate to interpret an individual implicit attitude measured at a given point in time as a person-related, trait-like factor.

TL;DR: In this article, a latent state-trait model for social desirability is proposed, that takes into account method factors as well as systematic effects of the situation of measurement and the person-situation interaction.
