Abstract

With the current growing Homeless crisis in Ireland the current study was a quantitative correlational analysis of both Implicit and Explicit measures of attitude and their impact on behaviour towards homeless persons. The study aimed to investigate the differences between both measures of attitude. Implicit attitudes were measured using the Implicit Relational Assessment Procedure (IRAP) (Barnes-Holmes D. , et al., 2006) and Explicit attitudes were measured using a Likert-scale measure designed using identical stimuli (word associations) based on the IRAP. This study also aimed to investigate the impact of both measures on Behavioural intentions towards homeless people using a Behavioural Intentions Measure (Hocking & Lawrence, 2000). Results although not significant, were indicative of negative attitudes resulting in a decrease of pro-social behaviour towards homeless people.
