We employed the Brief Implicit Association Test (a recently developed short
version of IAT) to measure implicit political attitudes toward four political
parties running for Serbian parliament. To test its criterion validity, we
measured voting intention and actual voting behavior. In addition, we
introduced political involvement as a potential moderator of the BIAT’s
predictive and incremental validity. The BIAT demonstrated good internal and
predictive validity, but lacked incremental validity over self-report
measures. Predictive power of the BIAT was moderated by political involvement
- the BIAT scores were stronger predictors of voting intention and behavior
among voters highly involved in politics.
