内隐联想测验：信度、效度及原理

内隐联想测验（Implicit Association Test）是一种评估个体对两个概念的自动化联系强度的间接测量方法，近年来被广泛应用于内隐社会认知研究。有很多证据显示，较之于外显测验，IAT能为研究提供更多新的信息，但其信度、效度指标都有待改善，而且不同学者对其测验原理仍有不同解释。因此，研究者对IAT的应用及对其结果的解释需持谨慎态度。另外，文章还简单介绍了IAT数据处理的新方法和一些IAT的变式。

Implicit Association Test :Reliability,Validity and Mechanisms

The Implicit Association Test (IAT), a reaction time measure of automatic memory-based associations without requiring conscious introspection, has been widely used to assess implicit social cognition in recent years. Although many research results show that the IAT provided meaningful insights into implicit social cognition while the explicit measures did not, it still needs more evidence for the IAT’s reliability and validity. Moreover, the theoretical interpretation of mechanism underlying the IAT is still a controversial issue. This article strongly suggests that researchers should use the IAT more appropriately and scrupulously. A new algorithm and some alternative methods derived from the IAT are also described.
