Note that your IAT result is based only on the categorization task and not on the questions that you answered. Please answer the following questions about your resultsExplanation / Answer
The results indicated a slight preference of European Americans over African Americans, as this test is based in the psychological thinking patterns on the basis of similarities and relevance, in my opinion, the result is pretty accurate.While completing the tests, I observed that the test mainly focuses on the social psychological factors such as object memory and it’s relativity which helps us form judgement and opinions.
In order to decouple or rather disassociate with certain preconceived notions that you might hold, it is essential to reassess a few judgements and views by trying to look at them from a different viewpoint or perspective altogether.It is essential to have an open mind towards the traits and personalities of different individuals and take it as they are instead of associating them with a certain race, religion or even gender.This would help one in being approachable and respectful towards all.
