The computer test is highly flawed. It fails to account for deliberate mnemonic devices, or learned ability within the testing tool itself. When the test presented "good" words on the "right" side, it was much easier to respond. It also described ethnicity with "White" and "Black' also holding positive/negative associations of their own, divorced of race bias. White wires are positive. Black clouds bring tornadoes. PUHLEEZE. The test makes for a good laugh. Show me the FMRIs.
shiver me timbers hawkeye, we got a high response to crabapple cove when Obama raised the liberal douchebag level to AAnegative.It's that's standard & poors has alwaysblamed fairly responsible people or is the first president to call Rizzo a Creole?
10:40 why does alda feel biased against women of the workplace, but not family of the male? why is he even a feminist.? why should he be? why not be a humanist? represent humanity rather than half of it. otherwise, whats the point of raising boys if they're just going to grow up to be the "M" word?
I wonder if the they tried flipping the word association test around by showing the Female/Career, and Male/Family associations first. If they did this, then maybe the result would be opposite. This test seems highly untrustworthy to me.
@sfmike20 i agree, gender roles have been so biforcated as to lead to the term "opposite sex." rather than "complementary sexes." male and female will definitely score differently in this test, but as people we are if anything, authentic. the idea of the test is good, but needs improvement.
The train question is highly biased. The logical mind gets in the way because it knows internally that there is no way that pushing a fat guy onto the tracks would stop the train. Obviously you would decide not to push him for that reason alone, even if you 'tell' yourself pushing him would stop the train. And no one wants to kill 6 people instead of 5.
Rework the question and you might get different results.
I don't think they did the male/female - career/family association test properly. Just by repetition, Alan could have just gotten used to associating man with career and female with family... switching the words would slow down anyone's response... Anyone who's played a video game knows that can kind of thing can happen... They should have tried it showing him male/family female/career right away then switching...
I took the Arab-Muslim IAT; apparently, and despite all my vitriols on youtube against Islam, I show "little to no preference between Arabs and other people."
I think it means I'm a man of principle; It is really Islam that I don't like, not Arabs...I knew it!

It would never occur to most people to try to stop a trolley with a person (even a "big" person). So that's a lame question.

Why is it from a scientific piont of view, I see a child's death as being worth than 10 adults deaths?
