IAT Reflection

Race Test: slight automatic preference to European American to African American.


The results of this test did surprise me a bit, I have many friends that are African American and I went to elementary, junior high and high school with a variety of cultures and many of these were African American. I found many of the pictures to be African American Males, so I wonder if that affected my results? My African American friends are females.

Gender Test: association male with career and female with family compared to female with career and male with family.

The results of this test also surprised me a bit, because both of my parents work and continue to have full time jobs. My family is very important to me, so I wonder if subconsciously this had an effect. My mother did stay home and raise some of us and then went back to work. So perhaps that also affected my results. I come from a family of pretty much all boys so maybe its still a males world in my subconscious!
