Which of the following is a critique of the Implicit Associations Test (IAT) discussed in your textbook?
A) The IAT measures explicit prejudice, not implicit prejudice.
B) The IAT measures implicit discrimination, not implicit prejudice.
C) The IAT may measure knowledge about stereotypes, rather than real attitudes or beliefs.
D) The IAT does not produce reliable or consistent results.
Answer: C
Rationale: Although it produces reliable results, one critique of the IAT is that it may only measure knowledge of stereotypes, rather than what participants believe is true. Simply knowing about a stereotype
does not mean an individual believes it, uses it to judge people (prejudice), or uses the stereotype to discriminate.
