Document Summary
American and hispanic individuals suffer in comparison to white. Implicit racism: racism that operates unconsciously and unintentionally. Implicit association test (iat), - anthony greenwald and others (1998: measures the extent to which two concepts are associated. It measures implicit racism toward african americans by comparing how quickly participants associate african american cues (such as a black face) with negative or positive concepts compared to how quickly they associate european american cues with these same concepts. If someone is consistently slower identifying something good after seeing a black face than a white face, for example, this would indicate a degree of implicit racism. On the one hand, a variety of studies have reported how implicit racism correlates with a range of attitudes and behaviors, such as how an interviewer treats job candidates or how citizens vote in an election. Iat scores are not reliable predictors of individuals" behavior, particularly over time and across situations.
