What do you think of this research method?

The Implicit Association Method.





i participated in a study this week that used this method. i do not agree with the results. what do you think about this method?

What do you think of this research method?
"Your data suggest little to no automatic preference between Multicultural and Unicultural."





That doesn't surprise me, but I wonder with what these tests are being correlated to measure their validity.





I also find the equation of "multi-ethnic" with "multi-cultural" to be bogus. I am black, but I am a Westerner, raised with Western values and Western ideals.





And many of the pictures of apparently all white people could easily have included Latinos or people from Northern India.





That sort of sloppiness does not help my confidence in this research.
