Good morning,
Bias can arise from preconceived notions, stereotypes, or personal experiences that influence our
perceptions and judgments. Biases stem from our upbringing. Every interaction and every experience we
have had has shaped who we are. To some degree, our biases influence our beliefs and behaviors, they
sway our attitudes, and they affect our personalities. Because our biases are so ingrained into who we
are, it would be unrealistic to simply say “ignore your bias.” Two example strategies for mitigating
stereotype threat include using positive imagery like asking students to think of a time that they've done
well in the topic being tested, and addressing stereotype threats directly like warning students the
stereotypes exist, dispelling myths, and discussing these myths. For example, several studies have
confirmed that merely mentioning that a stereotype exists lowers students’ grades compared to a
control group who did not have the stereotype brought up prior to a test (eg., Steele & Aronson, 1995;
Spencer, Steele & Quinn, 1999). The framework this ties into is valuing diversity, equity, and inclusion.
Everyone deserves the right to be treated equally and no judgement.
