## Method ## *Inclusion Criteria* Valid meta-analysis requires careful consideration of which studies are relevant to the research question and which studies are not. Given our focus on procedures that causally change implicit bias, we set the following inclusion criteria: (1) The study is a between-subjects experiment. This led to the exclusion of studies that used correlational or quasi-experimental designs (e.g., Rudman, Ashmore, & Gary, 2001) and within-subjects manipulations (e.g., Wheeler & Fiske, 2005). (2) The study includes an implicit measure that is administered after the onset of the experimental manipulation. Implicit measures were defined as measures of associations between concepts that do not require the participant to actively bring to mind the target association. Measures for which the manipulation began during task instructions or practice trials (e.g., Foroni & Mayr, 2005) and for which the manipulation extended into the measure (e.g., Huntsinger et al., 2010) were considered eligible. (3) The implicit measure assesses a pre-existing association. We defined a “pre-existing association” as an association that either should theoretically be present, or has been empirically demonstrated as present, within a target population prior to the onset of the study. (4) The experimental procedure must fit into a single procedure category. Procedure categories were created iteratively with the goal of capturing the breadth of approaches in the literature. This iterative process meant that the included procedure categories (and studies) changed during the coding process. Procedures that fit into multiple categories or did not fit into any categories were excluded. If a study only had one condition remaining after exclusions, the full study was excluded. For more information about this criterion, see the section labeled “Experimental procedures” below. (5) The study is reported in English. This criterion led to the exclusion of studies that were not written in English. ---------- *Literature Search* Studies were obtained through several methods: (a) PsycINFO and Web of Science seraches, (b) direct requests for relevant studies through email and the SPSP listserv, and (c) an additional 115 articles from an unpublished meta-analysis of the malleability of implicit intergroup bias. *Database Search*. We searched the literature at the start of the project (September 2012) and near the close of active data collection (June 2014). We used a combination of search terms reflecting our various inclusion criteria. A study needed to be be fulfill all search criteria to be included in our initial sample of studies for the meta-analysis. **1.)

To locate studies focusing on associative change:** malleab* OR chang* OR influenc* OR moderat* OR reduc* OR increas* OR shift* OR alter* **3.) We also included additional search criteria for language (i.e., English-only) and studies published between 1995-2015.**
