Outcomes
WHAT ARE THE USES OF THE IAT?
A decade of research using the IAT has shown that the test is extremely good at predicting outcomes. As the IAT is quite malleable, it has been adapted for use in areas of psychology that have little to do with race, including studies of binge drinking and nonsuicidal self injury in teenage women.
Tests in which the IAT is used to predict the outcome of a study are called Predictive Validity Tests; a list of them is available on the website of the IAT’s inventor, Dr. Anthony Greenwald, here.
Below, readers will find several IAT-related Predictive Validity Tests. They demonstrate new frontiers in the investigations of our minds made possible by the IAT.
