Your data suggests a strong automatic preference for Black people over White people
Your data suggests a strong automatic preference for Barack Obama over John McCain
I took one on mothers and fathers also. I think, in my case, learning was involved. Let me try to explain...
The first block was associating Obama with good words (easy to do since I did have a bias there). Obama and good words were "K", McCain and bad words were "D". After the first block, I always found myself wanting to press "K" for good words whether I was supposed to or not. I didn't have this same difficulty with images. I had the same "learning" problem with the one about mothers and fathers but that was all words. I slowed down considerably when the pairings were reversed. I think my bias would have come out toward whichever block appeared first. Of course, I can't prove that, but that's how I felt while I was doing it.
You have completed the African American - European American IAT.
Your Result
Your data suggest little to no automatic preference between European American and African American.
