Temporal stability of implicit and explicit measures: A longitudinal analysis.
Gawronski, Morrison, Phills and Galdi tested the assumption that implicit measures are more stable over time than explicit ones. Across two longitudinal studies of self-concept, racial attitudes and political attitudes, implicit measures were less stable than matched explicit measures, with weighted average correlations of .54 and .75, even though their internal consistency was comparable.
