Implicit associations are uncontrollable associations between concepts in memory. The current study focuses on implicit associations in mental health domains (e.g., alcohol use, anxiety, depression, and eating disorders) and how these associations relate to explicit associations, vary based on demographic characteristics, and relate to self-reported clinical symptoms within the same domains. Overall, researchers found that individuals exhibited a bias for psychopathology-related implicit mental health evaluations, only in the context of eating disorder-relevant concerns. The results indicate that implicit mental health associations predict symptoms, over and above individuals’ explicit associations with mental health concepts and suggests that automatic self- and psychopathology-concepts are important in understanding and predicting alcohol use, anxiety, depression, and eating disorders.
