I ran into my old acquaintance Donald the other day, and I decided to go over and visit him, since by coincidence we took our vacations at the same time. Soon after I arrived, a salesman knocked at the door, but Donald refused to let him enter. He also told me that he was refusing to pay his rent until the landlord repaints his apartment. We talked for a while, had lunch, and then went out for a ride. We used my car, since Donald’s car had broken down that morning, and he told the garage mechanic that he would have to go somewhere else if he couldn’t fix his car that same day. We went to the park for about an hour and then stopped at a hardware store. I was sort of preoccupied, but Donald bought some gadget, and then I heard him demand his money back from the sales clerk. I couldn’t find what I was looking for, so we left and walked a few blocks to another store.

Results (Srull & Wyer, 1979) n. Donald rated more hostile when scrambled sentences task involved hostile words than when it didn’t n. Effect seems to happen without awareness, intention, or control

Implicit Association Test

Implicit Stereotypes Mahzarin Banaji "I was taken aback by my inability to make the intended association, the difficulty in making the counter-stereotypical association between, say, female and career, or male and home. " “If we are aware of our biases, we can correct for them—as when driving a car that drifts to the right, we steer left to go where we intend. " -- Mahzarin Banaji
