Scoring the IAT (case 12779)

[Goldenrude]

Being a total newbie to the IAT, i was wondering if anyone had a single IAT SPSS syntax to share ? I just used a single IAT in one of my experiment and i now need to look at the data and to be quite honest i don't know what to do

I'm all about posting ridiculously late responses right now. Hopefully this helps someone!

BTW, this is based on Greenwald, Nosek, and Banaji's (2003) scoring algorithm.

Hi,

is this for a single category IAT or standard IAT?

Hi,

This syntax was for a standard (racial bias) IAT. In fact, I believe that I used the exact same formatting, albeit different photos, as the version featured as an example in the DirectRT package. Hope that helps,

I am new to Direct RT, and i am looking to score the sample race-IAT in Direct RT, so would this syntax apply to that?
thank you

Hi,
It's been so long since I've looked at the demo that I'm not sure whether my version directly corresponds to it. (I'd check, but I no longer have DirectRT on my computer.) I've attached the kind of run file that should produce a data file that can be analyzed via the SPSS syntax file that I posted earlier. The essential elements are that blocks 3 and 5 represent the blocks of trials that are compared. For example, block 3 pairs race A with adjective 1 and race B with adjective 2. Block 5 pairs race A with adjective 2 and race B with adjective 1. Again, I'm pretty sure that this run file is either a copy of or closely corresponds to the demo file.

Just follow the instructions in the SPSS syntax file (and be sure to read the article that I mentioned earlier to understand the calculations, which are really quite basic). Good luck!

okay great! thanks for the help.
