Implicit attitudes can be difficult to measure because they are unconscious and automatic, making them hard for individuals to self-report accurately. Furthermore, implicit attitudes are often deeply ingrained and can be influenced by social desirability bias, making it challenging to measure them objectively. Additionally, the methods used to measure implicit attitudes, such as implicit association tests, can be subject to limitations in their reliability and validity.
