Capturing doping attitudes by self-report declarations and implicit assessment: A methodology study

Table 2 Mean PE-IAT effects of those who favour legalising doping and those who oppose; and those who would use doping

	Level of agreement	PE-IAT effect	PEAS
Legalising doping for TOP athletes	absolutely not	-306.09 ± 229.00	36.98 ± 10.51
	yes with restrictions	-294.53 ± 289.30	48.50 ± 9.81
	yes without restrictions	-14.50*	45.00*
Legalising doping for ALL athletes	absolutely not	-302.36 ± 227.67	35.27 ± 8.49
	yes with restrictions	-270.76 ± 282.67	54.50 ± 12.56
	yes without restrictions	-	45.00 ± 1.41
Hypothetical use of doping (5-DST)	0	-316.45 ± 258.40	35.74 ± 8.72
	1	-	42.00*
	2	-206.60 ± 185.43	55.71 ± 10.81
	3	13.667 ± 61.64	67.50 ± 13.44

PE-IAT = Doping Implicit Association Test, PEAS = Performance Enhancement Attitude Scale, 5-DST – 5 Doping Scenarios Test. Level of agreement for 5-DST: number indicates the number of the five scenarios in which the respondent would consider using doping.
