Implicit bias is measured by a person’s

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

The question asks how implicit bias is measured in terms of a person’s responses. 
Option 1 suggests denial of having any bias; however, denial does not quantify bias and is not a measurement of implicit bias. 
Option 2 proposes claims of having a bias; self-reports about bias are unreliable for implicit attitudes because they rely on conscious awareness, which implicit bias often bypasses. 
Option 3 states active discrimination against individuals; while bias can lead to discrimination, measuring bias typically involves cognitive processing, not overt behavior alone, and discrimination is not a direct measure of bias itself. 
Option 4 states speed at processing stimuli consistent with the bias; this aligns with common implicit-attitude measures (e.g., faster responses to stereotype-consistent versus stereotype-incongruent stimuli), reflecting automatic processing facilitated by bias. Therefore, this option captures a methodological approach used to assess implicit bias by timing and accuracy in processing related stimuli.
