  • IMPLICIT MEASURES Procedures, Use, and Interpretation
    2 IMPLICIT MEASURES Procedures, Use, and Interpretation Bertram Gawronski and Adam Hahn There is no doubt that self-report measures have provided invaluable insights for a wide range of psychological questions (see Jaccard and Blanton, Chapter 1, this volume). After all, a straightforward way to find out what is on a person’s mind is to directly ask the person about his or her thoughts and feelings. Yet, self-report measures have been criticized for their inability to capture mental contents that people are either unwilling or unable to report. First, self-report measures are known to be susceptible to self-presentation and socially desirable responding (Crowne & Marlowe, 1960). Second, self-report measures are not well-suited to capture thoughts and feelings that are outside of conscious aware- ness (Greenwald & Banaji, 1995). To overcome these limitations, psychologists have developed performance-based instruments that (a) limit participants’ abil- ity to strategically control their responses, and (b) do not rely on introspection for the measurement of thoughts and feelings. Based on their indirect approach in the assessment of mental contents, these performance-based instruments are often referred to as implicit measures, whereas traditional self-report measures are described as explicit measures. Despite the popularity of implicit measures as a tool to overcome the two well-known problems of explicit measures, an accumulating body of research suggests that the relation between implicit and explicit measures involves a much more complex set of factors that cannot be reduced to motivational distortions and lack of introspective access. In a nutshell, the available evidence indicates that (a) strategic control is just one among several factors that can lead to dissocia- tions between implicit and explicit measures and (b) the thoughts and feelings captured by implicit measures are consciously accessible (see Gawronski, LeBel, & Peters, 2007).

  • Back to the Future of Dissonance Theory: Cognitive Consistency As a Core Motive
    Social Cognition, Vol. 30, No. 6, 2012, pp. 652–668 GAWRONSKI COGNITIVE CONSISTENCY AS A CORE MOTIVE BACK TO THE FUTURE OF DISSONANCE THEORY: COGNITIVE CONSISTENCY AS A CORE MOTIVE Bertram Gawronski The University of Western Ontario In his theory of cognitive dissonance, Festinger (1957) described cogni- tive consistency as a psychological need that is as basic as hunger and thirst. Over the past decades, however, the idea of cognitive consistency as a core motive has been replaced by an increasingly narrow focus on dissonance-related changes in attitudes and alternative accounts that at- tribute such changes to mechanisms of ego-defense. The current article aims at reviving the idea of cognitive consistency as a core motive, arguing that inconsistency serves as an epistemic cue for errors in one’s system of beliefs. Because inconsistency can often be resolved in multiple ways, motivated reasoning can bias processes of inconsistency resolution toward desired conclusions, although motivated distortions are constrained by the need for cognitive consistency. The ubiquity of consistency processes is il- lustrated through its role in various instances of threat-compensation (e.g., victim derogation, self-verification, system justification) and the insights that can be gained from reconceptualizing various social psychological phenomena in terms of cognitive consistency (e.g., prejudice-related belief systems, dispositional inference, stability of first impressions). Festinger’s (1957) theory of cognitive dissonance is arguably one of the most in- fluential theories in the history of social psychology. The theory postulates that inconsistent cognitions elicit an aversive state of arousal (i.e., dissonance), which in turn produces a desire to reduce the underlying inconsistency and to maintain a state of consonance.1 Although Festinger was convinced that the psychological need for cognitive consistency is as basic as hunger and thirst, several revisions 1.

  • The Persuasiveness of British Accents: Enhancing Parental Self-Efficacy to Manage Children’S Oral Health Behaviours
    The Persuasiveness of British Accents: Enhancing Parental Self-Efficacy to Manage Children’s Oral Health Behaviours Zoe Adams Queen Mary, University of London August 2018 Abstract This interdisciplinary research builds on Pine et al.’s (2016) oral health intervention, ‘Bedtime Brush and Read Together to Sleep’ (BBaRTS), conducted among families in Tayside, Kent and Newham. It uses children’s storybooks to improve parents’ self- efficacy to manage their child’s oral health behaviours. The storybooks are being adapted into animated cartoons with voice-overs. Therefore, my research question is: What are the persuasive effects of British accents in each BBaRTS trial area? Study one tests the persuasiveness of six British accents (Received Pronunciation (RP), Multicultural London English (MLE), Yorkshire English, Dundee English, Irish English and Estuary English) among 114 parents (Tayside, n = 46; Kent, n = 34; Newham, n = 34). It was hypothesised that there would be a persuasive effect of accent, which differs by area. Participants completed an accent identification task, along with implicit and explicit measurement procedures. In Tayside, Estuary English was more persuasive than MLE (p = 0.002). In Newham, MLE was more persuasive than Dundee English (p = 0.001), Yorkshire English (p = 0.011) and RP (p = 0.011). In Kent, there was no persuasive effect of accent. Findings are examined in the context of Gawronski and Bodenhausen’s (2006, 2011) Associative- Propositional Evaluation model. This study also explores individual differences and reaction time in relation to accent persuasiveness, but results suggest that neither factor plays a fundamental role. Study two applies the most and least persuasive accent in Newham (MLE and Dundee English) to animated versions of the BBaRTS storybooks.

  • What Can Political Psychology Learn from Implicit Measures? Empirical Evidence and New Directions
    bs_bs_banner Political Psychology, Vol. xx, No. xx, 2014 Political Psychology, Vol. 36, No. 1, 2015 doi: 10.1111/pops.12094 doi: 10.1111/pops.12094 What Can Political Psychology Learn from Implicit Measures? Empirical Evidence and New Directions Bertram Gawronski The University of Western Ontario, Canada Silvia Galdi University of Padova, Italy Luciano Arcuri University of Padova, Italy Implicit measures have become very popular in virtually all areas of basic and applied psychology. However, there are empirical and theoretical arguments that might raise doubts about their usefulness in research on political attitudes. Based on a review of relevant evidence, we argue that implicit measures can be useful to identify distal sources of political preferences in domains where self-presentation may bias self-reports (e.g., influence of racial attitudes on voting decisions). In addition, implicit measures of proximal political attitudes can contribute to the prediction of future political decisions by virtue of their capability to predict biases in the processing of decision-relevant information (e.g., prediction of voting behavior of undecided voters). These conclusions are supported by research showing that implicit measures predict real-world political behavior over and above explicit measures. The reviewed findings suggest that implicit measures may serve as a useful supplement to improve the prediction of election outcomes. Open questions and potential directions for future research are discussed. KEYWORDS: behaviorprediction,biasedinformationprocessing,decisionmaking,implicitmeasures,votingbehavior Self-report measures arguably represent one of the most important research tools in political psychology. To measure people’s attitudes toward political issues, candidates, and parties, it seems rather straightforward to simply ask them about their opinions, beliefs, and preferences.
