Hi Robert, et al. I went to the Harvard.edu site, followed the research link, typed 'implicit' in the "search" engine on the research page, and came across the article noted below.
http://www.researchmatters.harvard.edu/story.php?article_id=419 You can also access the survey via tolerance.org's website. Tolerance is a very solid organization, with regard to race relations. I often send my students there to study hate groups. http://www.tolerance.org/hidden_bias/index.html Apparently, this project is legitimate. Unfortunately, I have not used this test in the classroom, nor even looked at the survey (yet). But I am curious, Robert. What do you mean when you suggest there is an "ethical dilemma of presenting this research?" And what sort of criticism has it drawn? In the meantime, I will look at the test more, and let you know what I think. Robert J.

The Implicit Administration Test (IAT) and the author spent considerable time discussing the Race IAT. I was wondering who has used this in class and how to handle the ethical dilemma of presenting this research. Also, what kind of criticism it has drawn. Thanks!
