Answer to Question 1

Answer: The IAT is thought to measure unconscious prejudices according to the speed with which people can pair a target face with positive and negative associations. The difference between how quickly people respond to the target paired with positive associations, as compared to the target paired with negative associations, determines if implicit prejudices are believed to exist.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: Benevolent sexism refers to holding stereotypically positive views of women, and hostile sexism refers to feelings that women are inferior to men. An example of benevolent sexism would be admiring women for being such good cooks and for being so nurturing. An example of hostile sexism would be viewing women as being less intelligent than men.
