Abstract
The Implicit Relational Assessment Procedure
(IRAP) is frequently employed over other measures of socalled
implicit attitudes because it produces 4 independent
and "nonrelative" bias scores, thereby providing greater clarity
around what drives an effect. Indeed, studies have sometimes
emphasized the procedural separation of the four trial
types by choosing to report only the results of a single, theoretically
meaningful trial type. However, no research to date
has examined the degree to which performance on a given trial
type is impacted upon by other stimulus categories employed
within the task. The current study examined the extent to
which response biases toward "women" are influenced by
two different contrast categories: "women" versus "inanimate
objects". Results indicated that greater dehumanization of
women was observed in the context of the latter relative to
the former category. The findings highlight that the IRAP may
be described as a nonrelative, but not acontextual, measure of
brief and immediate relational responses.
