“People don’t always say what’s on their minds. One reason is that they are unwilling. Another reason is that they are unable.”

This laboratory-based study aimed to examine the efficacy of implicit bias intervention in the reductions of stigma towards persons with physical disability. Implicit bias intervention was given using a computer-based response-latency paradigm called Single Category Implicit Association Test (SC-IAT; Karpinski, & Steinman, 2006) presented with Inquisit v.4.0.8.0. (2014).

The virtual laboratory for implicit bias paradigm is accessible at Project Implicit.
