Summary	Implicit political attitude measures assess automatic, relatively uncontrolled evaluations of political objects, candidates, parties, racial and social groups, using reaction-time and misattribution tasks rather than self-report. The two leading instruments are the Implicit Association Test (Greenwald et al., 1998), which infers attitudes from the speed of categorization, and the Affect Misattribution Procedure (Payne et al., 2005), which infers them from how a prime biases judgments of ambiguous targets.	The Symbolic Racism 2000 Scale (SR2K), developed by Henry and Sears (2002), is an 8-item self-report measure of symbolic racism, a contemporary, subtle form of anti-Black prejudice that blends early-learned negative affect toward a group with traditional moral values such as individualism and the work ethic. It descends from the symbolic-racism construct introduced by Kinder and Sears (1981) and is closely related to the racial-resentment battery used in the American National Election Studies.
