The analysis pooled 217 research reports with 36,071 participants.
Key ideas
The paper proposed that variation in the correlations between the implicit association test and behaviour is explained by methodological features of the studies. Studies with a declared focus on the implicit-criterion correlation, a standard version of the test, high-polarity attributes, relative behaviour measures and high correspondence between test and criterion had a mean correlation of .37 across 13 studies, and studies low on those features .02 across six. The authors report that most studies were badly underpowered and released online tools for calculating statistical power and internal consistency. The paper is used in Does the implicit association test work? for the design-moderator result.
