Attitude is a stable and appraised position inside mentally, which is held by individual when he does out reaction to social object.With the proceeding of modern cognitive psychology and implicit memory, implicit social cognition as a hot field is set up, and implicit measure technology develop quickly. Although it was once assumed that all self-attitudes were explicit (directly measured by means of self report). It is now known that we possess some attitudes about ourselves that are implicit, measurable indirectly using procedures that bypass self-report. Implicit attitudes reflect traces of early experiential learning, they become activated automatically in self-relevant situations to influence more spontaneous and less controllable outcomes.A lot of studies about self-analysis are based on the background of eastern and western culture, for a long time, most foreign scholars have considered the East has a collectivist culture and the West has a individualistic culture. Domestic related research showed that at the explicit level, the collective self-orientation of Chinese university students scored significantly higher than the relational self and individual self, there are no significant difference between relational self and individual self,which indicating that Chinese subjects tend to seen themselves and others who closely linked with their own individual as a "small group", there are differences between "small group" and "large group", rather than foreign studies suggest that the "collective" and "personal" distinction; at the implicit level, there are no significant difference between relational self and collective self,so they can be combined as "other orientation", and coresponding "self orientation" There are two recognition level in implicit:self and others. Accordingly, individuals will show a different self in different circumstances, relational self and collective self are required to meet the group requirements, relational self can be seen as a kind of collective self development. Therefore, on the basis of previous research, this article only selected the collective self and individual self to further analyze the individual's implicit self-attitudes.This part of the theoretical basis of attitudes, implicit attitudes, dual attitude model, the measurement method of attitude, the stability of implicit attitudes and self, etc., sort out the previous experimental study on the above areas and their results lay a theoretical foundation support for the later experiment.Special secondary school students take part in these experiments, using AMP indirect test to make an experiment on implicit attitude of self. Experiment one explored the relationship between individual self and collective self. First, subjects take part in implicit self-attitude pretest on individual self and collective self, and then evaluate five photographs to gain a feedback of appreciation based on this task, according to randomly assigned to receive feedback and divided subjects into four groups, and then take an after test, the experiment focus on post-test of the feedback type effects on individual self and collective self. The results showed that individual self is the main department of self-orientation.The second experiment on the basis of the experiment one and simplified the feedback type, then take a confidence level test, subjects give feedback based on the task, and post-test at different time intervals in order to further study the influence on implicit self attitude on the feedback type and post-test time.Conclusions:(1)Subjects on the self-evaluation superior than the evaluation of others, their implicit attitude on themselves are positive, existing implicit self-attitudes effects.(2)Male subjects'evaluation on self and innergroup higher than female subjects,the former tend to innergroup preference and the later tend to outside group preference. (3)The feedback type is an important factor on implicit attitudes.(4)Immediate post-test and delayed post-test have different impacts on the implicit self attitudes'stability, subjects'implicit attitude has immediate instability and long-term stability...
