Description: The discrimination-association model (DAM; Stefanutti, Robusto, Vianello, & Anselmi, 2013) disentangles two components underlying the responses to the implicit association test (IAT), which pertain to stimuli discrimination (the strength of the association of the stimuli with their own category) and automatic association (the strength of the association between targets and attributes). The assumption of the DAM that these two components sum into a single process generates critical drawbacks. A new formulation of the model, called DAM-4C, in which stimuli discrimination and automatic association are separate, independent, and competing processes has been developed. This folder contains the codes for estimating and testing the DAM-4C, as well as the data used in: Stefanutti, L., Robusto, E., Vianello, M., Anselmi, P., Dalla Rosa, A., & Bar-Anan, Y. (In Press).
