Cultural Assumptions
Your data suggest a strong automatic preference for Light Skin compared to Dark Skin.
The implicit assumptions test provided insight, that my preferences in skin tone are strongly towards light skin tone, when i considered myself neutral as to skin tone preferences.I was surprised that the IAT revealed that I prefer light skin tone because I don't really have a preference as to skin tone, I knowingly feel neutral toward that type of preference. Cultural assumptions can be harmful at school because there wouldn't be racial integration, and it can cause racism and judgement amongst students at school. In a community cultural assumptions can disrupt the peace and racial integration of that community because everyone will have their own opinion as to skin tone preferences. On a global scale cultural assumptions may cause wars and chaos amongst nations because of racial preferences.
