Analysis of studies shows that in studying attitudes towards risky and safe driving only few researches are based on the use of implicit methods. The aim of the study: the study of attitudes towards the use of mobile phones while driving with the use of Implicit Association Tests and self-assessment procedures. Participants: 69, age 21-59, M = 42, SD = 9.02, 27 female and 42 male, all with B category driver licenses, driving experience 9-24 years. Implicit measurements: two experimental procedures of the Implicit Association Test (IAT) developed by the authors for measuring attitudes towards the use of mobile phones while driving: IAT and self-concept IAT Explicit measurements: a self-assessment procedure developed by the authors "Scale of measuring attitudes towards the use of mobile phones while driving," cross-cultural Personality Questionnaire ZKPQ-50-CC (Aluja, Rossier, García, Angleitner, Kuhlman, & Zuckerman, 2006). A positive relationship between the results of measurements using IAT and self-concept IAT was found in participants with high anxiety. The effect size obtained with the IAT is larger than the effect size obtained with self-concept IAT. A relationship between the results of measurement of attitudes towards the use a mobile phone while driving, measured by experimental procedures and the personal factors was found.

The problem of assessing criminal attitudes towards violence of violent offenders is very essential. It is important to measure criminal attitude using valid procedures as Self-Concept Implicit Association Test (IAT) and also consider its relationship with additional variables as attachment styles and personality traits, that could help to explain the forming and maintaining criminal attitude towards violence. The aim of this study is to research the relationship of criminal violence, adult attachment styles and personality traits of violent male offenders. Six research questions were formed. Participants were violent male prisoners (N = 77), aged 20-62 years (Mdn = 34 or M = 35.5, SD = 10.6). Methods used: Specially designed Self-Concept IAT, measuring implicit criminal attitudes towards violence; Criminal Attitudes to Violence Scale (CAVs); the Eysenck Personality Questionnaire Revised-Abbreviated (EPQR-A) and Vulnerable Attachment Style Questionnaire (VASQ). The main results showed that anxious-ambivalent attachment style is more common for violent prisoners. It was found that the greatest impact on implicitly measured attitudes towards criminal violence is made by insecurity then, explicit attitudes towards violence and then by neuroticism. The factor analyses indicated three factors. The results can be used in the process of re-socialization of violent prisoners.

The paper presents the experience of team research work aimed at experimental study of attitudes by modern implicit methods. Involvement of students in the creative atmosphere creates the basis for the formation of a creative, competent and responsible psychologist who can then learn how to work in any of the areas of psychology. The results of empirical studies aimed at understanding of ethnic attitudes, hardiness, gambling addiction, alcohol abuse by implicit methods and self-assessment procedures are presented.Key words: Implicit Association Test, explicit method, unconscious affective priming, attitudeFor the formation of general science, instrumental, social and personal, cultural and professional competencies graduate psychologists are involved in the research process, which is based on teamwork to research various attitudes by modern implicit methods. The purpose of this paper is to familiarize with the major trends of the

The aim of research: to investigate violence-related cognitions with Self-Concept implicit association test (IAT) and self-reported procedures for sentenced and not sentenced males. The research questions: Is there correspondence between the results of measuring implicit associations related to criminal violence using Self-Concept IAT and self-reported criminal attitudes towards violence among sentenced and not sentenced males? Is there a relationship between implicit associations of self with criminal violence measured by Self-Concept IAT and personality traits: psychoticism, neuroticism, extraversion? Is there a relationship between self-reported attitudes towards criminal violence and these personality traits? Participants: 141 males. Groups: “Sentenced” — 77 prisoners, 20—62 years (Mdn = 34) undergoing sentence in high security prisons; “Not sentenced” — 64 previously not sentenced, 18—62 years (Mdn = 32). Violence Self-Concept IAT was specially designed. Self-reported procedures to measure criminal attitudes and personality traits were used. The correspondence between the results of implicit and explicit measurements was found under certain experimental conditions. The relationships between the personal traits and attitudes towards criminal violence measured by self-report procedures and IAT were revealed.
