Explicit attitudes, on the other hand, involve thinking about something and reporting not evaluating; deals more with how the attitude is expressed. The test I completed was created to see our association with physically ill people versus mentally as being harmless versus dangerous (Project implicit, n.d.). I chose that test because a lot of people think that those with mental health issues possess a great threat and despite the fact that I think that is not fair it can be true. But we think like that because the media can have a great impact on us.

I implicitly think that people with mental illnesses are not dangerous. It depends on the person it does not have to be because he/she is physically ill or
