In connection with that the thesis presents some methods of measurement of attitudes, mainly the implicit technique of unobtrusive measure of racial attitudes based on priming procedures. This method successfully eliminates the possibility to modify the respondents' attitudes in accordance with the social desirability. Techniques of implicit measures provide estimates of individuals' attitudes without necessity to ask them directly for such information. They assess attitudes unaffected by conscious control. The underlying mechanism is that the respondent has in memory evaluative (positive or negative) connotation towards attitude object. This evaluative connotation is an implicit attitude. It is automatically activated by the encounter of this attitude object. Evaluative connotation does not have to be conscious. In terms of testing procedure this connotation facilitates or inhibits the answer. Implicit attitudes, their findings and coherency with explicit...
