The Implicit Relational Assessment Procedure (IRAP) was designed to examine implicit beliefs or attitudes. In Experiment 1, response latencies obtained from Irish participants on the IRAP showed a strong preference for Irish over Scottish and American over African. In contrast, responses to explicit Likert measures diverged from the IRAP performance in indicating Irish equally likeable to Scottish and African more likeable than American. Using a similar IRAP, Experiment 2 showed that participants from the United States showed strong implicit preferences for American over Irish, Irish over Scottish, and Scottish over African; the explicit Likert measures again diverged from the IRAP. The findings provide preliminary support for the IRAP as a useful measure of implicit beliefs.

- A Sketch of the Implicit Relational Assessment Procedure (IRAP) and the Relational Elaboration and Coherence (REC) Model (2010, background): “For example, white participants may respond positively toward black people on a standard questionnaire of racial prejudice but produce an anti-black IRAP effect (Barnes-Holmes, Murphy, et al., 2010; see also Power et al., 2009).”
- The Implicit Relational Assessment Procedure: Exploring the Impact of Private Versus Public Contexts and the Response Latency Criterion on Pro-White and Anti-Black Stereotyping Among White Irish Individuals (2010, methodology): “The order in which IRAP blocks were presented was not counterbalanced across participants because previous research has found that this variable does not interact significantly with the critical IRAP effect (e.g., McKenna et al., 2007; Power et al., 2009; Vahey et al., 2009).”
