Most human cognition occurs outside conscious awareness or conscious control. Some of these implicit processes influence social perception, judgment and action. The past 15 years of research in implicit social cognition can be characterized as the Age of Measurement because of a proliferation of measurement methods and research evidence demonstrating their practical value for predicting human behavior. Implicit measures assess constructs that are distinct, but related, to self-report assessments, and predict variation in behavior that is not accounted for by those explicit measures. The present state of knowledge provides a foundation for the next age of implicit social cognition: clarification of the mechanisms underlying implicit measurement and how the measured constructs influence behavior.
大多数人类认知都发生在意识觉察或意识控制之外。这些内隐过程中的一部分会影响社会知觉、判断和行为。在过去的 15 年中,内隐社会认知的研究可以被描述为测量时代,因为出现了大量的测量方法和研究证据,这些证据证明了它们在预测人类行为方面的实际价值。内隐测量评估的是与自我报告评估不同但相关的结构,并且可以预测那些外显测量无法解释的行为变化。目前的知识状况为内隐社会认知的下一个时代提供了基础:阐明内隐测量的潜在机制以及所测量的结构如何影响行为。
