PRIOR TO THE TRAINING:

Each participant is asked to voluntarily take the Harvard Implicit Association Test (IAT) prior to the virtual training session. Here is the link to access the survey website:

https://implicit.harvard.edu/implicit/takeatest.html

The Implicit Association Test (IAT) measures attitudes and beliefs that people may be unwilling or unable to report. The IAT may be especially interesting if it shows that you have an implicit attitude that you did not know about. For example, you may believe that women and men should be equally associated with science, but your automatic associations could show that you (like many others) associate men with science more than you associate women with science. You will have the opportunity to assess your conscious and unconscious preferences on various topics. At the same time, you will be assisting psychological research on thoughts and feelings.

IAT’s require 10-15 minutes to complete. You can complete the IAT on a computer or mobile device. You can do as many as you like, but in preparation for the Implicit Bias and Microaggressions Training, we’d kindly ask that you do two -- but at least one -- of the IAT’s listed below. At the end of each session, you will get some information about the study and a summary of your results. We'll discuss your thoughts on this survey during the upcoming training session.

Here are the two IAT’s we recommend you take in order to participate fully in the training -- we hope that you will find the experience interesting and informative.

• Disability ('Physically Disabled – Physically Abled' IAT). In this IAT, you will be asked to categorize figures representing physically disabled people and physically abled people as well as positive and negative words.
• Race ('Black - White' IAT). This IAT requires the ability to distinguish faces of European and African origin. It indicates that most Americans have an automatic preference for white over black
