The final paragraph of this article is unclear:
Implicit theories are also important with regard to prejudice and social identity issues. These roles can be noticed in the similarities and differences between intragroup and intergroup stereotyping. Experiments conducted by Goldstein, introduced psychology students to testing their implicit personality theories through the use of cyberspace.[2] Information relating to the experiment of social psychologists and their social theories was given to the students with the help of internet home pages. Findings showed that some students were uncomfortable at which they had labeled and easily formed implicit personalities of other individuals; however, others were excited about how well they contacted the targets of their theories to see if they were correct.
1) How did the psychology students test their theories? Were they given a home page and told to make an assessment?
2) The final sentence is completely garbled, and I'm not 100% clear on what it is trying to say.
