IAT - L4 Flashcards
1
Q
Limitations?
A
- no pure measure
- very crude investigation
- established link between sex and child
- requires interpretation of results (subjective?)
- small sample (18)
2
Q
(HOW?) Hypothesis 1?
A
- pedophiles would show different sexual associations towards children than controls
3
Q
(HOW?) Hypothesis 2?
A
- use IAT measure to predict future sexual offences and examine effects of sex offender treatment programmes
4
Q
Strengths?
A
- pilot study on 100 graduate students
- high test-re test
- high validity
- good at predicting behaviour
- IAT easy to use and reliable
- non-invasive
- repeated with larger samples
5
Q
Future implications?
A
- could be used in more situations as high test re-test
- go beyond psychology and look around all of it
6
Q
Since then…?
A
- two more studies done with larger numbers
- showed similar effects in pedophile “deniers”
7
Q
(HOW?) Brief procedure?
A
- performed Control-IAT (flowers/insects task) on pilot study and then on pedophiles to see they understood the task
- CON. 1 = one label per button
- CON. 2 = two tables per button
8
Q
Results?
A
- people faster when adult-sex go together and slower when child-sex go together
- reversed effect for pedophiles
9
Q
Significant result?
A
- ALL RESULTS HIGHLY SIGNIFICANT
