“…Second, merely identifying a CS (such as during some implicit evaluation task) can cause subjects to derive CS-valence links unrelated to explicitly provided CS-US information (cf., the misattribution effect—Jones et al., 2009). This means that any (explicit/implicit) measure of CS valence could potentiate the derivation of CS valences unrelated to task demands (Jones et al., 2009; Hahn and Gawronski, 2018). For fairness, the same argument applies to CS evaluations reported here since we did not assess whether subjects misattributed valences to CS.…”

Effects of Nodal Distance on Conditioned Stimulus Valences Across Time

A meaningless symbol that repeatedly co-occurs with emotionally salient faces (US) can transform into a valenced symbol (CS). US-to-CS valence transformations have been observed for CS that have been directly ( US → CS0 ) and indirectly ( US →CS0→ CS1 → CS2 ) linked with face US. The structure of a US→CS0→CS1→CS2 series may be conceptualized in terms of “nodal distance,” where CS0, CS1, and CS2 are 0, 1, and 2 nodes from the US respectively. Increasing nodal distance between an evaluated CS and its linked US can reduce magnitude of observed CS valence transformations. We explored currently whether nodal distance can influence CS valence extinction , which describes reductions in CS valence following repeated exposures to CS without any accompanying US. In our study, faces with happy/neutral/sad expressions (US) were directly linked with nonsense words (US→CS0). The directly linked CS0 was concurrently linked with other words (CS0→CS1, CS1→CS2). Subjects evaluated all stimuli before and after conditioning, then continued to provide CS evaluations twice a week for 6 weeks. Bayesian factors provided credible evidence for the transformation and extinction of CS valences that were 0 and 1 nodes from US (all BF 10 ’s > 100). The variability across post-conditioning CS evaluations provides indirect evidence for context-sensitive/propositional and structural/associative operations during CS evaluations.

“…With regard to this research question, research on implicit measures suggest that implicit-explicit correlations depend on certain factors, such as content domain (e.g., the “to-be-measure” psychological attribute; “racist attitudes”) and procedural factors ( Cameron et al., 2012 ; Gawronski and Brannon, 2017 ). Yet, there is some agreement that implicit-explicit correlations tend to be larger for explicit judgments of intuitive bases compared to more deliberative judgments ( Hahn and Gawronski, 2018 ). Although the latter claim would predict that implicit and explicit measures would correlate in the present task, the exploratory nature of this experimental procedure compromises any specific prediction.…”

Despite growing research on online social networking, implicit associations of Facebook users have been largely understudied. In Study 1, we used the Single-Target Implicit Association Test (ST-IAT; Karpinski and Steinman, 2006) in order to assess implicit associations between Facebook and two evolutionary relevant constructs: sexual and prosocial behavior. Additionally, we controlled for the role of participant's relationship status as a potential moderator of Facebook implicit associations. In Study 2, we extended these findings and explored the relationship between implicit and explicit associations towards Facebook. Across two studies, we found that Facebook is more strongly associated with prosocial than with sexual behavior. This effect was not sensitive to sex differences. Further, Study 2 results revealed that implicit and explicit associations did not correlate. We discuss the implications of these findings, underlining the role of implicit measures in cyberpsychology research.

“…Third, interpretation of results is based on a sample of young female students with a predominantly normal weight, which limits generalizability to men, individuals with a higher age, lower education, under-or overweight, and clinical samples (e.g., individuals with eating disorders). Finally, implicit measures have been criticized for their proneness to measurement error (due to low reliability indices), faking, or context dependency (for an overview of some common caveats, see Gawronski & De Houwer, 2014;Hahn & Gawronski, 2018), questioning the conclusions derived from such measures.…”

Implicit evaluation of chocolate and motivational need states interact in predicting chocolate intake in everyday life

Snack food consumption has a high relevance for health and is partially controlled by implicit, motivational processes that make self-control difficult at certain times. Specifically, research suggests that individuals with a more positive implicit food evaluation consume more snack foods in the laboratory under conditions of high motivational needs (e.g., hunger and food craving). Yet, no study investigated if and under which circumstances implicit evaluation of food predicts snack food intake in real life. In the present study, 60 female undergraduate students (mean age: 22.3 ± 2.34 years) at the University of Salzburg, Austria, completed a chocolate-related Single Category Implicit Association Test in the laboratory and then reported snack food intake during seven days of signal-contingent Ecological Momentary Assessment. Results showed that a more positive implicit evaluation of chocolate was associated with a higher likelihood of consuming chocolate in states of high hunger and high momentary chocolate craving, whereas no such modulatory pattern was found in states of low hunger or low chocolate craving. Therefore, interventions targeting daily chocolate craving and consumption may be particularly beneficial in specific situations (i.e., in states of high hunger and craving) and also in vulnerable populations (e.g., those with a more positive implicit food evaluation).
