Fig. 2.

The two different categorization schemes for the implicit association test. The panels shown were displayed on the computer screen to remind respondents of the current scheme. Each stimulus was either a drawing of a girl that appeared suddenly in the middle of the screen or an audio recording of a word. Under the categorization scheme in panel A, if a respondent saw a drawing of the cut girl or heard a negative word, she had to press the pink key on the left side of the keyboard as quickly as possible. If the respondent saw a drawing of the uncut girl or heard a positive word, she had to press the blue key on the right side of the keyboard as quickly as possible. The frowning face and the smiling face were used to represent negative and positive words respectively. Under the categorization scheme in panel B, the associations were exactly the opposite, with uncut paired with negative, and cut paired with positive.
