Implicit Terror
Sociology has recently seen a surge of interest in implicit culture, which refers to knowledge, habits, and feelings that are largely automatic and habitual. In this article, I argue that certain expressions of implicit culture may be more contextual and malleable than previously thought. The argument is illustrated by showing how terror attacks in France affect implicit bias toward Arab Muslims. By analyzing the longevity and specificity of this…
Implicit Nationalism
By combining research on banal and unconscious nationalism with cognitive psychology, this article outlines a novel framework for so-called 'implicit nationalism.' In the first part of the article, I detail how different events, symbols, and discourses affect nationalist attitudes and sentiments beyond conscious awareness and control. I argue that certain events and symbols affect implicit-but not necessarily explicit-nationalism by changing the …
The effect of implicit racial bias on right-wing populist support
This paper examines the link between implicit racial bias and right-wing populism. Using data from 41,803 participants, I explore whether implicit racial bias predicts the support of right-wing populist parties (RPP) in France, Belgium, and the Netherlands. The results reveal a significant association between implicit racial bias and support of RPP, even when controlling for explicit bias. Additional analyses show that the effect of implicit raci…
Do we need dual-process theory to understand implicit bias? A study of the nature of implicit bias against Muslims
Psychological dual-process theory has become increasingly popular among sociologists. The dual-process framework accounts for two types of thinking; a fast, associative, automatic or subconscious "System 1 thinking", and a slow, propositional and reflective "System 2 thinking". The insight that the former can also be empirically studied by sociologists has the potential to significantly improve sociological research. However, dual-process theory …
On the Methodological Difficulty of Identifying Implicit Racial Beliefs and Stereotypes
In "Status Characteristics, Implicit Bias, and the Production of Racial Inequality," Melamed, Munn, Barry, Montgomery, and Okuwobi present an innovative and intriguing study on social influence, status beliefs, and implicit racial bias. To capture status-based expectancies, the authors measure implicit racial status beliefs using an Implicit Association Test (IAT) with words related to high and low status. We identify an important flaw in the stu…
