title: Now you see it, now you don't: explicit versus implicit measures of the personal/group discrimination discrepancy.
abstract: When making explicit self-report ratings, members of status- and racial-minority groups report less personal experience with discrimination than that encountered by their group--a phenomenon called the personal/group discrimination discrepancy (PGDD). This study provides evidence, for the first time, that the PGDD may be, in part, a product of the procedure used to measure it. White women and men completed explicit and implicit measures of personal and group discrimination based on sex. The PGDD surfaced among women in the explicit measures, but not in the implicit measures. These findings suggest that explicit and implicit measures might provide different assessments of experience with discrimination.
