Abstract

This paper highlights the potential roles of implicit bias and implicit association testing (IAT) in the practice of reflexivity. In the paper, eight leisure scholars reflected on their explicit and implicit prejudice and privilege and its influence on their efforts to conduct critical leisure research. Data were collected from these scholars in three stages. First, participant-researchers engaged in a ‘conscious,’ written, personal reflexive exercise considering their biases and how these biases influenced their research. Second, participants completed four IATs – a parallel ‘unconscious’ reflexive exercise. Third, participants individually and collectively reflected on results of the IATs in relation to their conscious responses. The authors report results from thematic analyses of these reflections; consider practical opportunities, challenges, and cautions associated with using implicit measures to denote one’s positionality; and initiate a theory driven discussion of broader uses of implicit measures in critical leisure research.

摘要

本文强调了内隐偏见和内隐联想测试（IAT）在反思实践中的潜在作用。在这篇论文中，八位休闲学者反思了他们显性和隐性的偏见和特权及其对他们进行批判性休闲研究的影响。这些学者分三个阶段收集数据。首先，参与者研究人员考虑到他们的偏见以及这些偏见如何影响他们的研究，进行了“有意识的”、书面的、个人的反思练习。其次，参与者完成了四项 IAT——一种平行的“无意识”反射练习。第三，参与者单独和集体反思与他们有意识的反应相关的 IAT 的结果。作者报告了对这些反思进行专题分析的结果；考虑实际的机会、挑战，与使用隐式度量来表示一个人的位置相关的注意事项；并发起理论驱动的讨论，讨论在批判性休闲研究中隐性测量的更广泛用途。
