Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

To approach the question, start by identifying what the study in Taber & Lodge (2016) investigated regarding IAT evidence in political cognition.
Option 1: 'affect contagion' — This term would imply that affect spreads from one source to another, but the IAT evidence discussed in the paper is not framed around affect contagion specifically. The focus is more on how quickly ingrained, affect-laden evaluations influence judgments rather than a transfer of emotion between participants or stimuli.
Option 2: 'motivated bias' — While motivations can shape political judgments, the IAT evidence in this context is used to demonstrate automatic associations that operate beyond conscious motivation. The intended lesson is that attitudes can be activated implicitly, not solely through deliberate motivated reasoning, so labeling it as simply motivated bias would miss the automatic, rapid processing aspect highlighted by IAT results.
Option 3: 'hot cognition' — This term captures the core idea of the IAT evidence presented: cognition that is emotionally charged and biased by affective reactions, leading to swift, evaluative judgments in political contexts. The IAT is used to show that political processing is often 'hot' rather than purely deliberative, aligning with the paper’s emphasis on affective, impulsive associations influencing choices.
Option 4: 'affect transfer' — This would suggest that affect moves from one representation to another during processing, but the IAT evidence in this study is not described as a direct transfer of affect between stimuli. Instead, it points to automatic evaluative associations that are activated without explicit affect transfer being a central mechanism.
In sum, each option should be considered in terms of whether the study framed IAT findings as automatic, affectively charged processing (hot cognition) versus other more specific or different affective processes. The wording and emphasis of the IAT results align best with the concept of hot cognition, highlighting rapid, emotionally influenced judgments in democratic politics.
