Implicit Bias
What is implicit bias?
The Kirwan Institute for the Study of Race and Ethnicity at Ohio State University defines implicit bias as:
[T]he attitudes or stereotypes that affect our understanding, actions, and decisions in an unconscious manner. These biases, which encompass both favorable and unfavorable assessments, are activated involuntarily and without an individual’s awareness or intentional control. Residing deep in the subconscious, these biases are different from known biases that individuals may choose to conceal for the purposes of social and/or political correctness. Rather, implicit biases are not accessible through introspection.
How can I learn more about implicit biases?
To learn more about implicit biases, The Kirwan Institute for the Study of Race and Ethnicity at Ohio State University, as well as the Office of Equity, Diversity and Inclusion at UCLA, have produced very informative video modules that we recommend.
How can I learn more about my own implicit biases?
To learn more about your own potential biases, consider taking the Implicit Association Test (IAT), According to Project Implicit, “The IAT measures the strength of associations between concepts (e.g., black people, gay people) and evaluations (e.g., good, bad) or stereotypes (e.g., athletic, clumsy). The main idea is that making a response is easier when closely related items share the same response key.”
How does implicit bias manifest in the workplace?
Implicit biases can impact all facets of our lives—even the workplace. Here are some resources for addressing implicit bias in your place of work.
