The most straightforward way to assess how people feel about various groups is to ask them directly. However, surveys of people's attitudes toward certain groups cannot always be trusted, because respondents may not think it is acceptable to express what they really feel, or because what people report verbally is only a part of their stance toward members of other groups. People may also have implicit beliefs that are not consciously accessible to them. Support for this idea comes from research showing that many people who do not openly endorse any prejudiced beliefs still show evidence of bias on implicit measures.
