implicit attitudes
attitudes that influence a person’s feelings and behavior at an unconscious level
Implicit attitudes are unconscious or automatic attitudes that we hold towards different social groups, people, objects, or issues. These attitudes can influence our thoughts, behaviors, and judgments, often without our awareness.
Implicit attitudes are formed through a variety of experiences such as socialization, cultural influences, personal experiences, and media exposure. They can be based on stereotypes, prejudices, or biases that we have internalized over time.
Implicit attitudes are measured through several methods, including Implicit Association Test (IAT) and the affective misattribution procedure (AMP). These assessments measure the speed and accuracy of our responses to stimuli, revealing our implicit attitudes towards them.
It is important to acknowledge our implicit biases and attitudes as they can affect our decision-making, interactions with others, and perpetuate social inequalities. By becoming more aware of our implicit attitudes, we can work towards reducing their negative impact and promoting equality and inclusion.
