DscoreApp (v0.1)
A Shiny Web Application for computing the IAT D-score.
This app is meant as an easy and open source alternative for computing the IAT D-score.
Statement of need
Despite the Implicit Association Test (IAT) is commonly used for the implicit assessment of different constructs, ranging from racial prejudice to brand preferences, there is not an open source and easy-to-use application for the computation of its effect, the so-called D-score. DscoreApp is meant to fill this gap and to provide users with a free and easy to use Shiny Web application for the computation of the IAT D-score.
Installation instructions
DscoreApp can be used both locally and online.
To use DscoreApp locally, R and RStudio IDE have to be installed. The following R packages have to be installed as well: shiny, shinjs, shinythemes, and ggplot2. You can use the following code to install them:
install.packages(c("shiny", "shinyjs", "shinythemes", "ggplot2"))
Once you have installed these packages, download the DscoreApp.Rproj, ui.R and server.R files. If you open either the ui.R or the server.R file, you will find the Run App command on the top right side of the R script. By clicking on the Run App, the app will start working on your computer, and it will automatically call for the abovementioned packages. If you want to use the example dataset locally on your computer, you have to download it (raceAPP.csv file), save it into a working directory, and change the working dircetory on LINE 23 in server.R file accordingly.
DscoreApp can be used online as well, without the need of installing anything locally. The suggested browser for using the app online is Google Chrome. The app is retriavable at the URL: http://fisppa.psy.unipd.it/DscoreApp/
Example of usage
Either you decide to use DscoreApp locally or online, the dataset containing the IAT data can be easily uploaded by means of the Browse button. Data needs to be saved in a CSV format, with comma set as column separator.
Once data have been updated, the drop-down menus for the IAT blocks labels are populated with the labels identifying the four blocks in the user's dataset. Once the labels have been specificied, the Prepare data button becomes active, and, after it has been clicked and the data are ready for the actual D-score computation, the Data are ready message is appearing right next the button.
Once the data are ready, any D-score can be chosen from the drop-down menu, according to users' preferences. Different options for both the respondents' deletion and the graphical display of the results are available as well. The appearance of the app once the results are displyed and examples of the available graphical options are illustrated on the pdf of the paper in the app GitHub repository.
