Measuring the cognition of firesetting individuals using explicit and implicit measures

This study examined un-apprehended deliberate firesetters’ cognition. Relative to non-firesetters,
un-apprehended firesetters reported higher explicitly measured fire interest. However, their reaction times (RTs) on a fire interest implicit LDT were inconsistent with these findings. They did, however, display a pattern of LDT RTs consistent with Dangerous World and Fire is Powerful beliefs.
