  • Rooth (2010) found that negative implicit associations with Arab Muslim men strongly predicted recruiters' probability of inviting an Arab Muslim man for an interview in the correspondence audit.

    “Across both studies, and thus irrespective of the content of the IAT, the results demonstrate that the tendency to show negative implicit associations with Arab Muslim men (in comparison to Swedish men) strongly predicted the recruiters' probability of inviting an Arab Muslim man for an interview in the correspondence audit.”

  • A replication of the CV study in Sweden, using Arab-sounding names instead of Swedish-sounding names, found a correlation between HR professionals who preferred the CVs with Swedish-sounding names and a higher level of implicit bias towards Arabs.

    “a replication of the study in Sweden, using Arab-sounding names instead of Swedish-sounding names, did in fact find a correlation between the HR professionals who preferred the CVs with Swedish-sounding names and a higher level of implicit bias towards Arabs [9].”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
