Assignment
Part one
Internet Exercise
In this exercise, you will be required to take the project implicit association test. Project Implicit is a non-profit organization and international collaborative network of researchers investigating implicit social cognition - thoughts and feelings outside of conscious awareness and control. Project Implicit is the product of a team of scientists whose research produced new ways of understanding attitudes, stereotypes and other hidden biases that influence perception, judgment, and action.
Project Implicit translates that academic research into practical applications for addressing diversity, improving decision-making, and increasing the likelihood that practices are aligned with personal and organizational values.
Project Implicit was founded in 1998 by three scientists - Tony Greenwald (University of Washington), MahzarinBanaji (Harvard University), and Brian Nosek (University of Virginia).
