Abstract
Two measures of implicit attitudes,
the Implicit Relational Assessment
Procedure (IRAP) and the Implicit
Association Test (IAT), were
compared with each other and with a
measure of explicit attitudes in the
assessment of implicit pro-slim/anti-fat
bias. Results from both implicit tests
indicated higher levels of bias than
revealed by the explicit measure. The
IRAP data suggested that it was
participants’ pro-slim rather than anti-fat
bias, which was driving this effect.
Explicit attitudes and feelings towards
the overweight were significant
predictors of behavioural intentions
towards the overweight with the IRAP
offering a greater contribution to
predictive validity than the IAT
