APFIVE In a study examining implicit bias, researchers asked 300 participants to rate their conscious attitudes toward different racial groups and then complete an implicit association test (IAT). The data showed that participants who explicitly reported having no racial prejudices still demonstrated significant implicit biases on the IAT. The researchers concluded that unconscious racial bias is more prevalent than conscious bias. What research design flaw limits this conclusion?
The study needed a control group for comparison
The sample was not representative enough of different racial groups
The correlational nature of the study prevents determining if IAT scores accurately measure true racial attitudes
The explicit attitude measure lacked reliability
