Initial Research

This initial research synthesis suggests that the relationship between implicit and explicit attitudes is determined by (at least) two factors – self-presentation and elaboration. A new formulation of the nature of the relationship between implicit and explicit attitudes must be devised to handle these observations. The independent evaluations view does not explain how reliable and predictable relationships can exist between implicit and explicit attitudes. And, the implicit as lie detector view does not anticipate that factors other than self-presentation will moderate IE correspondence. Developing strong theory about the functional relationship between implicit and explicit attitudes requires examination of other factors that could moderate the relationship (e.g., attitude accessibility, attitude importance), and attention to the cognitive processes that give rise to these two modes of evaluation. In other words, the same heavy doses of theorizing about explicit attitudes, if brought to bear on the IE relationship will quickly provide answers to the conditions under which they are likely to be associated or dissociated.

The Relationship

Preferences that are products of introspection and endorsed by the respondent (explicit attitudes) can conflict with preferences that are measured indirectly and do not require conscious introspection or endorsement (implicit attitudes). In three studies, two factors are examined that may predict when implicit and explicit attitudes will be associated or dissociated: self-presentation and attitude elaboration. In the first study, evidence that increasing self-presentation demands negatively affected implicit-explicit correspondence was observed through a manipulation of a public and a private context in which the attitude was reported. In the second study, elaborating an attitude for 20 minutes increased implicit-explicit correspondence compared to a control attitude. The third study reports a synthesis of web-based and laboratory tasks that varied in self-presentation and elaboration. Perceived self-presentation and elaboration produced stable differences in implicit-explicit correspondence such that attitude objects with low self-presentation concerns and high elaboration showed the strongest correspondence. These data suggest that existing models cannot sufficiently account for the relationship between implicit and explicit attitudes, and that the relationship between automatic and consciously mediated preferences is both reliable and predictable.

AbstractThis paper seeks to improve the persuasiveness of oral health campaigns by investigating the relationship between implicit and explicit attitudes to British accents. Forty-seven participants from Tayside, East Scotland, first completed an implicit task which asked participants to judge the truth value of 120 trivia statements, divided into six different accents, as quickly as possible. This was complimented by an identical written task at the end of the experiment in less pressurised conditions. Both audio and written responses to the statements were analysed using signal detection theory, which revealed that Estuary English was more persuasive than the local accent, Dundee English (p = 0.039), and the stigmatised multi-ethnolect, Multicultural London English (p = 0.002). Participants also completed an explicit task involving two matched-guise tests with the same six accents in a neutral and dental context. Results update our knowledge of explicit attitudes to British accents in a modern linguistic landscape, and shed light on correlations between implicit and explicit attitudes. Using Bassili and Brown’s (2005) Potentiated Recruitment Framework, it is argued that the relationship is mediated by participants’ self-presentation concerns and the perceived social penalties of expressing bias. Sociolinguistic implications of implicit measurement procedures are discussed regarding the development of oral health campaigns.

The Relationship

We investigated the implicit attitudes of Chinese youth towards the second-generation rich, and the relationship of these with their explicit attitudes. Participants were 119 undergraduate students (58 men and 61 women). Using the Semantic Differential Measure and the Feeling Thermometer Scale, we examined the participants' explicit attitudes, and we used the Implicit Association Test to assess their implicit attitudes toward the second-generation rich. Results showed that the participants did not show a negative implicit attitude towards the secondgeneration rich. However, the participants exhibited a negative explicit attitude toward the second-generation rich. These results are consistent with previous research. This suggests that the second-generation rich can take advantage of these findings and project a more positive image of themselves to other people in China.

Implicit And Explicit Attitudes

It is a psychological truism that some elements of the mind are unavailable to conscious introspection. Recent research suggests that attitudes exist as entities that one can reflect upon and self-report (explicit attitudes), and also as entities that exist outside of conscious awareness or control (implicit attitudes). The nature of the relationship between implicit and explicit attitudes is not understood. One factor thought to distinguish implicit and explicit attitudes is the latter’s greater vulnerability to self-presentation demands. Specifically, relationships between implicit and explicit attitudes may be maximized when self-presentational demands are low (private reporting) versus high (public reporting). In a single session, participants reported attitudes in both a private and public context and completed implicit attitude measures. A mediational test showed that correspondence between implicit attitudes and public attitudes was completely mediated by private attitudes. These data suggest that self-presentation is one factor involved in the prediction of implicit-explicit correspondence.
