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. I have observed an implicit bias in my work about the hiring process. I work in a public school, and from what I have seen, they hire people they already know and do not pay attention to the person who fits the position. Where I go with this is that they do not give an opportunity to someone new; the higher positions have been covered for the people who know each other. In other words, you get hired for who you know, not for what you know or your profession. One of the possible causes of implicit bias are neurocognitive factors, which is “favoritism.” 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 When I was in high school, I still remember that a lot of people from “Mexico” used to come to El Paso school. A stereotype based on social identity is being “Mexican”. I experienced seeing how other students used to bully non-English speakers since they came from the bridge. About the situation at that time, I never did anything because I was afraid of getting bullied since I was 1

Instruction Your Answer textbook. coming from Juarez, too, and I still remember I was always afraid to ask or talk in front of the class because I didn’t want the scholars to make fun of me. 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. I see implicit bias, and I think it is challenging to change or make a difference in groups of friends in schools, work, or even with the family. If someone thinks you are different from their group, that is implicit bias, assuming you are different and do not belong to their group for thinking you are different. This can be about gender, ethnicity, race, or socioeconomic factors. For example, I see Bia implicit in school, for coming from Mexico, some scholars might think you do not know English or do not belong to their group. *Use professional Explain two or more strategies that can be used to prevent and combat implicit bias. and scholarly sources to support the effectiveness of the strategies, and cite those sources. To prevent combatting implicit bias, we can start by accepting that everyone has biases, meaning we are humans, we are different. It is important to start learning about people. Another way to reduce implicit bias is by reducing discrimination by not judging people from the outside and inside. 5. Provide the full references for your sources in APA format. References 2
