Recently, the role of method-specific variance in the Implicit Association Test (IAT) was examined (McFarland & Crouch, 2002; Mierke & Klauer, 2003). This article presents a new content-unspecific control task for the assessment of task-switching ability within the IAT methodology. Study 1 showed that this task exhibited good internal consistency and stability. Studies 2-4 examined method-specific variance in the IAT and showed that the control task is significantly associated with conventionally scored IAT effects of the IAT-Anxiety. Using the D measures proposed by Greenwald, Nosek, and Banaji (2003), the amount of method-specific variance in the IAT-Anxiety could be reduced. Possible directions for future research are outlined.
最近，研究了特定方法方差在内隐联想测验（IAT）中的作用（麦克法兰和克劳奇，2002；米尔克和克劳尔，2003）。本文提出了一种新的非特定内容控制任务，用于评估IAT方法中的任务切换能力。研究1表明，该任务具有良好的内部一致性和稳定性。研究2 - 4考察了IAT中特定方法的方差，结果表明该控制任务与IAT - 焦虑的传统评分IAT效应显著相关。使用格林沃尔德、诺塞克和巴纳吉（2003）提出的D指标，可以减少IAT - 焦虑中特定方法方差的量。概述了未来研究的可能方向。
