Abstract
This was the first study that aimed to examine the effects of instructing participants to
“fake” their performance on the Implicit Relational Assessment Procedure (IRAP). Thirty-six participants were first exposed to an IRAP. Consistent blocks involved responding to
pleasant target words as pleasant, and unpleasant words as unpleasant; inconsistent blocks
involved the opposite response pattern. As predicted, latencies were significantly shorter
on consistent relative to inconsistent blocks. Subsequently, all participants were informed
about how the IRAP works; 12 participants were also asked to try to fake the next IRAP
by thinking of pleasant things as unpleasant and unpleasant things as pleasant; and another
12 were also told how to fake the IRAP (slow down on consistent trials). Results showed
no evidence of faking, which contrasts with previous research in which the Implicit
Association Test (IAT) was successfully faked.
