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.

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.

Implicit anti-fat bias among health professionals: is anyone immune?

TL;DR: Even health care specialists have strong negative associations toward obese persons, indicating the pervasiveness of the stigma toward obesity, and there appears to be a buffering factor related to their experience in caring for obese patients, which reduces the bias.
