Group: Forum Members Posts: 1, Visits: 3	Hi everyone, I am looking to score my IAT using Greenwald's 'D_biep.Generic Inquisit IAT.SPSS form.29Dec07' scoring Syntax. I am having a bit of trouble figuring out how to replace the Syntax labels appropriately, and I am wondering if someone who has done this before would be able to help me out! In the Syntax, it is stated that: D_biep will be scored so that higher numbers indicate stronger association of <<attribute_left_label>> with <<TARGET_2_LABEL>>, unless the scoring is reversed. For the purposes of my analyses, and if at all possible, I would like to score my data such that I get a D_biep that will indicate the strength association between 'fat' and 'SELF' (i.e., such that higher scores indicated greater heavyweight self-identity), and another scoring of my data such that I get a D_biep that will indicate the strength of association between 'thin' and SELF (i.e., such that higher scores indicate greater lightweight self-identity). Referring to the Syntax below, I understand that SELF/OTHER are my 'TARGETS'. However, I would like some help figuring out which is my 'TARGET_1_LABEL' and which is my 'TARGET_2_LABEL', given that I would like my analyses to focus on 'SELF' (as opposed to 'OTHER'). I also understand that fat/thin are my 'attributes'. I am wondering if there would be a way to manipulate the Syntax such that one analysis focuses on the association between SELF with 'thin', whereas another analysis focuses on the association between SELF with 'fat'. Basically, I would like some help with appropriately replacing the labels in the following Syntax to fit with my data and goals for interpreting D_biep. replace the labels below with ones meaningful for the targets and attributes used. VALUE LABELS pairing 0 'single task practice' 1 '«attribute_left_label»+«TARGET_2_LABEL» and «attribute_right_label»+«TARGET_1_LABEL»' 2 '«attribute_left_label»+«TARGET_1_LABEL» and «attribute_right_label»+«TARGET_2_LABEL»' / order 1 '«attribute_left_label»+«TARGET_2_LABEL» and «attribute_right_label»+«TARGET_1_LABEL» first' 2 '«attribute_left_label»+«TARGET_1_LABEL» and «attribute_right_label»+«TARGET_2_LABEL» first' . I am also unsure about whether the following reverse scoring Syntax will be necessary? *********************************************************** TO REVERSE THE SCORING OF THE IAT, REMOVE THE ASTERISKS FROM THE NEXT FOUR COMMAND LINES. *********************************************************** . * COMPUTE D_biep = 0 - D_biep . * COMPUTE D_biep_a = 0 - D_biep_a . * COMPUTE D_biep_b = 0 - D_biep_b . * VARIABLE LABELS D_biep '«attribute_left_label»+«TARGET_1_LABEL» association all blocks' / D_biep_a '«attribute_left_label»+«TARGET_1_LABEL» association 1st blocka' / D_biep_b '«attribute_left_label»+«TARGET_1_LABEL» association 2nd blocka' . FORMAT D_biep D_BIEP_a D_BIEP_b D_BIEP (F6.3) SUBJECT (F7.0) Na Nb (F4.0) M1a M2a M1b M2b (F7.1) ERR1a ERR2a ERR1b ERR2b ERR_1 ERR_2 (F5.1) . SAVE OUTFILE = 'D_BIEP_temp.SAV' . DESCRIPTIVES ALL . Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated! > I would like some help figuring out which is my 'TARGET_1_LABEL' and which is my 'TARGET_2_LABEL' You'll have to consult the script you used to collect the data. Also see https://www.millisecond.com/forums/Topic3444.aspx > I also understand that fat/thin are my 'attributes'.

But these come down to the same thing, no? The only difference would be the sign of the D-score, it's absolute value would be the same.
