To explain this contradiction, two intervention tasks were administered (Reflecting on the generated ideas [RF] and the Word puzzle task [WP]), which are…

In the past 50 years research on attitudes toward people with disabilities has repeatedly revealed negative attitudes by predominantly using self-report measures. The main aim of the present contribution was to develop an Implicit Association Test (IAT) to assess implicit attitudes toward people with disabilities. For this purpose 47 university…

The authors report the psychometric properties of the "Multiple Disability Implicit Association Test" (MDIAT) using the updated implementation procedure and scoring algorithm provided by Greenwald and colleagues. Undergraduate students (N = 249) completed the four disability condition IATs composing the MDIAT in addition to several…
