IAT

For my Implicit Association test, I looked to see if implicitly associate mentally ill individuals with danger. The results of this test were that I make a weak association of this kind. This is not surprising, as I have family members impacted by mental illness, likely giving me a less negative association. I am skeptical of whether or not the speed to which I match words of danger with mental illnesses represents my underlying beliefs about this large community. Nevertheless, the results were nothing too shocking.

    It is very respectable and interesting that your upbringing and experience with mentally ill individuals led to these results! It makes me wonder about the concepts of nature and nurture, and if these can impact our own implicit biases.
