Resumen

El Implicit Association Test (IAT; Greenwald, McGhee y Schwartz, 1998) es un instrumento flexible para la medida de las asociaciones automáticas que subyacen a los estereotipos y al prejuicio. El presente estudio mide los estereotipos implícitos sobre poderosos y no poderosos. Algunas líneas previas de investigación han mostrado que el contenido de estos estereotipos parece ser sistemático: los grupos poderosos son generalmente percibidos como competentes pero no sociables, mientras que los grupos subordinados son vistos como sociables pero incompetentes. Se realizó un estudio utilizando el IAT, el cual apoya esta hipótesis respecto al componente automático de los estereotipos de poderosos y no poderosos. Se discuten las implicaciones de nuestros resultados para el mantenimiento de la estructura social y su cambio.

Abstract

The Implicit Association Test (IAT; Greenwald, McGhee, and Schwartz, 1998) provides a flexible measure of the automatic associations underlying implicit stereotypes and prejudice. The present study tested the implicit stereotypes about powerful and powerless individuals. Some previous lines of research have shown that the content of these stereotypes may be systematic: Powerful groups are usually perceived as competent but not sociable; on the contrary, powerless groups are seen as incompetent but sociable. A study using the IAT supports this hypothesis for the automatic component of stereotypes of powerful and powerless. The implications of our results for the maintenance of social structure and social change are discussed.
