Project Description
Summary:
View help for Summary
We use a variant of the Implicit Association Test (IAT) to examine
individuals' implicit attitudes towards various ethnic groups. Using
a population from the Democratic Republic of Congo, we find that the
IAT measures show evidence of an implicit bias in favor of one's own
ethnicity. Individuals have implicit views of their own ethnic group
that are more positive than their implicit views of other ethnic
groups. We find this implicit bias to be quantitatively smaller than
the (explicit) bias one finds when using self-reported attitudes
about different ethnic groups.
