Hidden Biases
Presidents
I chose to do the implicit-association test over the section called Presidents. In this section you are given two Presidents which is Donald Trump and whoever else they choose. Franklin Roosevelt was the President that they chose to put against Donald Trump for my test. They make you do multiple task of you associating good, bad, Donald Trump and for mine, Franklin Roosevelt. They will determine your unconscious biases.

What I Found I found out that I have a “moderate automatic preference for Donald Trump over Franklin D. Roosevelt.”. They went on to say that I was faster at responding to the key when Donald Trump and good were assigned to the same key.

My Reaction to My Findings It honestly doesn’t shock me.

    Hidden Biases In Blindspot

    The book Blindspot and the concept of hidden biases and stereotypes affect my hometown community, my new college community and also the country and the world around me. As I began reading through the pages, I was surprised how relevant this information was to my daily life. Now that I reflect, I can’t think of a situation where judgments or misconceptions relating to the book haven’t popped into my mind. Stereotypes and unconscious biases are around everyone constantly. I was raised in a fairly non-diverse small town.…

    Implicit Attitudes And Regression Analysis

    When people are not exposed to what they judge they tend to place everyone into a category, thus accepting what they have been told. Implicit attitudes are associations that we make in our subconscious. An Implicit Association Test (IAT) measures the strength of any given association (Weiten, 2012, p. 533).For example, an IAT that measures associations between races can show that a person pairs images of blacks with negative things and pictures of whites with positive things . Implicit attitudes are the reason that Universities feel the need to prepare its minority students for the racial tensions they will encounter; this is the reason I had to be prepared by college admission officers to deal with the racism that I may or may not encounter on their campuses in the year of…

    Examples Of Affirmative Discrimination

    Affirmative Discrimination In a time when skin color, brain size, and theories such as social Darwinism are no longer factors used to determine social status, it seems that, on the surface, the world should be finally extinct of the conflict among races. Scientifically, no race is the “ultimate” one, because at the end of the day, humans are all just humans—right? Contrary to the popular belief that “All men (people) are created equal,” however, this is indeed not the case (“The Declaration of Independence” 1). In fact, there is a contention that runs far deeper than the mere struggles among races.…

    Summary Of Linda Brodkey's Writing On The Bias

    The purpose of Linda Brodkey's “Writing on the Bias” was too illustrate that learning how to write cannot be done through a strict set of rules that someone simply follows blindly. Brodkey disagrees with the way she was taught to read in school and how it is not real writing. She tells how as a child all she wanted to do was follow the rules of writing. This did her no good, it was not until her last years in college that she actually began questioning those who were setting down these rules she was supposed to be following. After she realized this was when she really learned how to write, which in a way set her free.…

    Examples Of Bias In To Kill A Mockingbird

    Bias is shown through society when the novel To KIll A Mockingbird shows how the people in Maycomb feel about African American people with other things like how to dress or how you should behave. A child’s point of view is used because children are not as biased as adults are and learn to see biases only from adults. Biases in the real world like happen all the time and in my experience kids don’t have many biases as adult that affect society.…

    Where Bias Began Analysis

    According to social psychology, a stereotype is a preshaped thought about a specific group or person, formed from previous encounters or perceptions. These thoughts involve assuming a person acts or looks a certain way depending on various factors, such as hair color and activities the person is involved in. According to psychologytoday.com, on “Where Bias Begins: The Truth About Stereotypes,” John Bargh, Ph.D., of New York University, suggests that stereotypes are created “from what social psychologists call in-group/out-group dynamics.” In other words, what Bargh is saying is all species of animals, including humans, have the natural need to fit in, or feel as though they are part of a group, such as categorizing themselves into “villages,…

    Implicit Association Test Essay

    The results for the Implicit Association Test (IAT) Race Test was not as surprising to me as the results for the IAT Gender Test. According to the IAT Gender Test, I had a slight association of males with the word “career” and females with the word “family” compared to males with the word “family” and females with the word “career.” I had thought I would score higher on the association of females with family and males with a career. Although there was this difference, these results show that my unconscious and conscious beliefs were different.…

    Implicit Disparities In Healthcare

    The researchers found that healthcare professionals exhibit the same levels of implicit bias as the wider population (FitzGerald & Hurst, 2017). The interactions between multiple patient characteristics and between healthcare professional and patient characteristics reveal the complexity of the phenomenon of implicit bias and its influence on clinician-patient interaction. Correlational evidence indicates that biases are likely to influence diagnosis and treatment decisions and levels of care in some circumstances (FitzGerald & Hurst, 2017). Overall, these findings highlight the need for the healthcare profession to address the role of implicit biases in disparities in…

    The Angry Eye Experiment

    Defined in Weiten, “Prejudice is a negative attitude held toward members of a group” (p.449, 2015). The Implicit Association Test demonstrated that three-quarters of the white participants tested exhibited prejudice against blacks (Weiten, p.434, 2015). Jane Elliot in her experiment was trying to change people’s attitudes she acted as the source with her credibility and expertise. The message used fear, repetition, logic and strong arguments to support the experiment. The channel used was in person and Ms. Elliot was assertive, forewarning the participants, talking of the preexisting attitudes of racist people (Weiten, 2015).…

    Implicit Bias Analysis

    Implicit bias remains prevalent in healthcare today particularly regarding physicians’ diagnoses. Implicit bias is an unconscious and automatically activated bias and explicit bias is a conscious and intentional bias (van Ryn 2011). Both implicit and explicit bias exhibit negative overgeneralized feelings about a particular group. With this definition, it is clear that implicit bias is similar to explicit bias but they are not the same. To correctly analyze the three encounters given in the following paragraphs, it is important to know the difference between the two.…

    Unconscious Bias Reflection

    To begin, I want to say I find this course insightful. Through the weeks, I have come to accept that everyone has unconscious bias, but also, that it is not something to be ashamed of, if anything, it is something to learn from. Before this class, I was not sure how to articulate my experiences on cultural differences. Also, I did not have a good grasp on culture and how it affects us all differently. I have learned to recognize that I have my own ethnocentrism, that it is okay to feel proud of my own culture in the sense that, maybe there are other ways to do things, but I like my way better because that is the way I am accustomed to.…
