Video Summary of Implicit bias
Implicit bias is the tendency for people to unconsciously prefer one group of people over another. This can be based on race, gender, age, or any other number of factors. Implicit bias can often lead to discrimination and inequality in both social and professional settings.
There are a number of different tests that can be used to measure implicit bias, including the Implicit Association Test (IAT). The IAT measures how quickly people associate positive or negative words with different groups of people. Studies have shown that most people show some level of implicit bias, regardless of their conscious attitudes.
