Abstract
“The IAT Is Dead, Long Live the IAT [. . .]” is the title of an article that might reflect the impression of many researchers who are unsure about whether IATs are useful measures or not (Jost, 2019, p. 10). A Web of Science search on the number of IAT-related publications shows that although IAT research has increased over the years, there are several ups and downs (Figure 1). This editorial provides insights into some issues that may partly explain this phenomenon and encourage researchers to use in-depth analyses to help identify the conditions in which IATs may be useful.
期刊介绍:
The main purpose of the EJPA is to present important articles which provide seminal information on both theoretical and applied developments in this field. Articles reporting the construction of new measures or an advancement of an existing measure are given priority. The journal is directed to practitioners as well as to academicians: The conviction of its editors is that the discipline of psychological assessment should, necessarily and firmly, be attached to the roots of psychological science, while going deeply into all the consequences of its applied, practice-oriented development.
