Abstract

We develop the first implicit association test (IAT) to measure general implicit extremist attitudes in Germany, Great Britain, and the Netherlands. We find that implicit extremist attitudes are positively but weakly correlated with existing explicit measures. This indicates that implicit measures capture different parts of the population, for example, cases in which associations are based on automated cognitive processes instead of conscious thought. Further results show that particularly the higher-educated and nonreligious respondents score higher on the implicit than on the explicit extremism measures. Our results highlight the importance of studying implicit attitudes of political extremism. We further provide novel insights into how to develop IATs for abstract concepts such as democracy and extremism, for the study of which we cannot use readily available images or concepts.

通过内隐关联测试测量内隐政治极端主义
我们在德国、英国和荷兰开发了首个内隐联想测验(IAT)来测量一般的内隐极端主义态度。我们发现,内隐极端主义态度与现有的显性测量结果呈正相关,但相关性较弱。这表明内隐测量捕捉到了人群中的不同部分,例如,基于自动认知过程而非有意识思考产生联想的情况。进一步的结果表明,尤其是受过高等教育和无宗教信仰的受访者在内隐性极端主义测量中的得分高于显性测量。我们的研究结果凸显了研究政治极端主义内隐态度的重要性。我们还就如何开发民主和极端主义等抽象概念的内隐态度测验提供了新的见解,因为我们无法使用现成的图像或概念来研究这些概念。

期刊介绍: Published since 1937, Public Opinion Quarterly is among the most frequently cited journals of its kind. Such interdisciplinary leadership benefits academicians and all social science researchers by providing a trusted source for a wide range of high quality research. POQ selectively publishes important theoretical contributions to opinion and communication research, analyses of current public opinion, and investigations of methodological issues involved in survey validity—including questionnaire construction, interviewing and interviewers, sampling strategy, and mode of administration. The theoretical and methodological advances detailed in pages of POQ ensure its importance as a research resource.
