Pictures depicting 1a) the computerized Implicit Association Test (IAT) procedure, and 1b) the paper-pencil IAT procedure. In the computerized IAT, participants high (versus low) in social anxiety symptoms would be expected to classify stimuli relatively more quickly in this classification trial, compared to a classification trial in which “Self” is paired with “Liked.” In this example, the participant would press the right computer key in order to correctly categorize the stimuli “Me” into the category label “Self.” Similarly, in the paper-pencil IAT, participants high (versus low) in social anxiety symptoms would be expected to categorize stimuli relatively more quickly in this classification block.
