From another study with N=700:

We measured self-reported meat consumption, meat disgust (by self-report and Implicit Association Test),

IAT is phrenology of social studies. You can discard it as garbage. If a study is using IAT as methodology, it's garbage done to gain some publication points.

Thanks for the link. Yeah, AIT powered studies could be made to imply literally anything depending on how the study is structured.

"However, considering the moderate size of test-retest reliabilities for IATs, it would be inadequate to use a single IAT observation as an accurate diagnostic of an individual’s implicit association. This restriction on the use of IATs may also have contributed to their death."
