THE IMPLICIT RELATIONAL ASSESSMENT PROCEDURE (IRAP) AS A MEASURE
OF UNIVERSITY STUDENTS’ ALCOHOL-RELATED IMPLICIT COGNITIONS: THE
PREDICTION OF ALCOHOL OUTCOMES AND MALLEABILITY OF ALCOHOL-
RELATED IMPLICIT COGNITION
J. Lavelle
Psychology department, NUI Galway, Galway, Ireland
Abstract
Introduction: Research suggests that alcohol-related implicit cognition (measured via
the IAT) may be a reliable predictor of students’ alcohol consumption and alcohol-related
problems (alcohol outcomes). The present study sought to examine students’ alcohol-related
implicit cognition using a potentially superior method: The IRAP and to investigate if this
implicit cognition was malleable to a video-based intervention. Methods: Alcohol-related
implicit cognition and alcohol outcomes (measured by the IRAP and self-report measures
respectively) were measured in undergraduates (n=30). Participants were then exposed to one
of two interventions before repeating the IRAP. Results: Participants held an overall positive
implicit bias towards alcohol; alcohol-related implicit cognition (implicit positive/negative
biases towards alcohol) did not significantly predict alcohol outcomes; alcohol-related
implicit cognition was not malleable to a brief video intervention. Conclusions: This
dimension of alcohol-related implicit cognition may not predict students’ alcohol outcomes;
and video-based interventions may not effectively influence this aspect of alcohol-related
implicit cognition.
