Course Readings . . .
Complete one or more online implicit association tests (IAT) by Project Implicit. The IAT attempts to measure the strength of automatic associations people have in their mind (Greenwald, Poehlman, Uhlmann & Banaji, 2009). Project Implicit has a disclaimer that the results of the tests are not necessarily valid. However, this exercise should still be thought provoking for you to take.
You can find the tests on the Project Implicit website.
