1 PSYC3540 Implicit Bias Worksheet Consider how automatic components of implicit bias are present in the real world in your personal interactions with others (attitudes and behaviors), such as in conversations with friends or coworkers, or in the media, such as in the news. Choose two specific personal incidents and one you observed in the media, and, based on information from the Blaine and Brenchley textbook, think about possible causes of the implicit bias you observed and complete the following five tasks (omit identifiers, such as names of people or businesses): Instruction Your Answer Provide an example of a time when you observed possible implicit bias in a work or social setting, or in the media on a news segment or on an internet source. What cues led you to believe that implicit bias may have played role in this situation? *Explain two or more possible causes of the implicit bias based on information from our Blaine and Brenchley textbook. Example 1) In my work setting, I observed a manager consistently giving more attention and praise to male employees than female employees. This could be seen in how the manager would give more detailed feedback to the male employees and often prioritize addressing their issues over female employees. The cues that led me to believe implicit bias played a role in this situation were the gendered patterns in the manager's behavior and the lack of detailed feedback given to the female employees.

2 Instruction Your Answer Possible causes of the implicit bias observed in this situation may include the Stereotype Content Model, which states that individuals are more likely to evaluate members of a group who share their gender in a positive light (Blaine & Brenchley, 2020). Additionally, the manager may have been responding to social norms, such as the norm of preferential treatment for men (Blaine & Brenchley, 2020). Example 2) I observed a news segment on an internet source regarding the recent hiring of a CEO for a major corporation. The corporation had interviewed a diverse set of applicants for the position. However, the CEO that they hired was a white male. The cues that led me to believe implicit bias may have played a role in

3 Instruction Your Answer this situation were the lack of diversity in the decision-making process and the selection of a white male for the role. Possible causes of the implicit bias observed in this situation may include the Ingroup Bias, which states that individuals are more likely to favor individuals who are members of the same social group (Blaine & Brenchley, 2020). Additionally, the corporation may have been responding to social norms, such as the norm of white male leadership (Blaine & Brenchley, 2020). Provide an example of a time where you believe you, a family member, or a friend were stereotyped based on group status and/or social identity. How did you feel when the situation occurred? What if anything did you do? *Explain two or more possible causes of the implicit bias based on information from our Blaine and Brenchley textbook. Example 1: I recently had a conversation with a couple of friends about the current protests against police brutality and racism. During the conversation, one of my friends kept making dismissive comments about the protesters, suggesting they should

4 Instruction Your Answer just 'stop complaining' and 'get over it.' I could tell that my friend did not recognize the racism that exists in our society. Possible Causes of Implicit Bias: According to Blaine and Brenchley (2019), implicit bias is rooted in our social environment and can be shaped by cultural norms and stereotypes. Therefore, my friend's dismissive attitude towards the protesters may be partially because they were raised in a culture that normalizes and perpetuates racism. Additionally, Blaine and Brenchley (2019) suggest that a person's implicit bias is affected by personal experiences. Therefore, it is likely that my friend's implicit bias is exacerbated by their own experiences, which may have caused them to feel threatened by the protesters.

5 Instruction Your Answer Example 2 : My cousin recently applied for a job and was called in for an interview. During the interview, the hiring manager asked several questions about my cousin's family background, which made my cousin feel uncomfortable. Possible Causes of Implicit Bias : Blaine and Brenchley (2019) suggest that a person's implicit bias is shaped by their personal experiences, as well as by social norms and stereotypes. Therefore, it is likely that the hiring manager's implicit bias was rooted in their own experiences and/or their unconscious beliefs about certain groups. Additionally, Blaine and Brenchley (2019) suggest that the media can also shape implicit bias and that people are more likely to exhibit bias if they are exposed to stereotypical messages about certain groups. Therefore, it is possible that the hiring manager had been exposed to messages that made them

6 Instruction Your Answer believe that certain families had more desirable backgrounds than others. Describe a situation where your perceptions and/or reactions were shaped by implicit bias. Were you aware of the bias at the time or is it something you have considered in retrospect? Explain your thoughts. Were your implicit biases challenged? *Explain how your insight into the situation can help you in changing or shaping your personal or professional behavior for the future. Personal Interaction: I observed implicit bias in a conversation with a friend. We were discussing a current event, and my friend expressed a negative opinion about a specific group of people. I noticed that my friend was generalizing about this group without considering individual differences or context. Media Observation: I observed implicit bias in a news article about a local political election. The article equated one candidate with a particular religious belief, though the candidate's policies had nothing to do with religion.

7 Instruction Your Answer Possible Causes of Implicit Bias: The possible causes of implicit bias in both the personal interaction and media observation could be the result of a few different things: 1. It could be due to a lack of exposure to different people and cultures. Without being exposed to different backgrounds, it can be difficult to empathize and understand how individual circumstances can be different from one person to the next. 2. It could be caused by implicit bias, which is often unconscious and automatic. People may not be aware of their own biases and may not recognize how they are projecting them onto others. 3. It could be due to the influence of negative stereotypes, which can lead to biased thoughts and behavior.

8 Instruction Your Answer Explain two or more strategies that can be used to prevent and combat implicit bias. *Use professional and scholarly sources to support the effectiveness of the strategies, and cite those sources. Strategies to Prevent and Combat Implicit Bias: There are several strategies that can be used to prevent and combat implicit bias. One strategy is education and awareness. By educating people on the dangers of implicit bias, they can become more aware of their own biases and how they may be influencing their thoughts and behavior. Additionally, people can learn how to recognize bias in others and how to respond to it in a productive way. Another strategy is to create a culture of diversity and inclusion. Organizations can promote diversity in all aspects, from hiring to policies and procedures, to ensure that all voices are

9 Instruction Your Answer heard and respected. Finally, organizations can create a system of accountability in which any form of discrimination or bias is not tolerated. This can include disciplinary measures for those who violate the policy, as well as rewards for those who demonstrate inclusive behaviors. Support for Strategies: Research has shown that education and awareness can effectively reduce implicit bias. For example, a study by Ruthie Pliskin and her colleagues found that exposing people to counter-stereotypic information can reduce bias in a variety of contexts (Pliskin et al., 2019). Additionally, a study by Stella Le and her colleagues found that diversity training can reduce implicit bias in the workplace (Le et al., 2020). Finally, a study by Michael B. Moffitt and his colleagues found that creating a system of accountability
