Abstract
The current study aimed to assess the implicit attitudes of vegetarians and
non-vegetarians towards meat and vegetables, using the Implicit Association
Test (IAT) and the Implicit Relational Assessment Procedure (IRAP). Both measures
involved asking participants to respond, under time pressure, to pictures
of meat or vegetables as either positive or negative stimuli. Response latency
data gathered from both the IAT and the IRAP discriminated at a statistically
significant level between vegetarians and meat-eaters. Furthermore, both measures
correlated with some features of the explicit self-report measure that was
employed in the study. The implicit measures also provided similarly small but
statistically significant increases in predictive validity over the explicit measures.
