Gender-Career Implicit Association Test

Post by Portia »

I remember taking these several years ago. The Gender/Career one appears to be new. (As is Gender/Science.)

What did everyone else get?

Your Result
Your data suggest a slight association of Male with Career and Female with Family compared to Female with Career and Male with Family.
Immediately above is the result of your performance of the Implicit Association Test. The score is determined by comparing how quickly and accurately you were able to categorize career words with male compared to female (and family words with female compared to male). Most respondents find it easier to associate Female with Family and Male with Career compared to the reverse. The chart just below is a breakdown of the scores generated by others.

You also completed a variety of measures concerning your family status. We are investigating whether, for example, people that have or had a mother working outside the home have different implicit associations about gender and career versus family, than people that have or had a stay-at-home mother. Evidence suggests that implicit associations form based on everyday experiences, so the daily exposure to differences in gender roles in one's own family might be influential on how these associations form in memory - whether we consciously agree with them or not.

Your data suggest little to no difference in automatic associations of career and MALE with family and FEMALE.
