Cultural bias

remember faces is remarkable. Interestingly, there seem to be many factors that influence the performance of facial recognition, such as age, gender, race and even particular social or cultural groups that people belong to. This experiment explores whether there is gender bias in face recognition. Own-gender bias in facial recognition is the tendency to recognise individuals from one’s own gender better than individuals from the other gender (Herlitz & Lovén, 2013).

1. Introduction One of the fundamental purposes of management accounting and control research is to motivate employees to operate for the firm’s interest. It is clear that incentives affect overall performance, and thus, managers and accountants by providing monetary incentives and compensation systems aim to improve their employees’ performance.

Reflecting on My Cultural Identity and Biases  Self-awareness is a critical skill to hone as a behavioral health worker. Understanding how individual traits, cultural influences, and life experience shape perspective and constantly assessing one's thought processes in order to remain as objective as possible can be difficult but is necessary from an ethical standpoint. A lot of harm can be done if personal bias goes unchecked, intentional or not. This paper will define cultural bias and discusses my

Implicit Gender Bias and Women in STEM Fields Most people consider themselves as rational, reasoning individuals who make decisions after considering the facts at hand. Research suggests that this is often not the case, with implicit bias at work shaping one’s responses. Researchers at Cornell University have defined implicit bias as “unconscious, unintentional bias” (Royer, Hido & Slotnick, 2017). Predictors of implicit bias include socio-economic status, gender, ethnicity, childhood experience

The nature of test bias on children from multicultural populations has been a topic of interest since the 1960s (Taylor & Payne, 1983). At that time, it appeared that “discriminatory testing” was taking place, which effected the placement of many different children in schools

ten years, the number of English Language Learners (ELLs) has doubled. An increase of more than 2 million ELL students in the U.S schools, left professionals within the field of education with no choice but to face the challenge of understanding cultural differences. In addition to this, educators must understand how these differences affect students’ language development, learning style, academic achievement and most importantly, his or her performance on standardized tests.

However, whichever way they look at it, it is obvious that tests are culturally biased; they are unfair and discriminate against minority groups. I will explore this view further in this paper. There can only be two reasons for the disparity witnessed in the performance of tests: either people from some cultural groups have different capabilities or some cultural groups face greater

I frankly did not need an assessment to point out my knowledge of cultural differences as I have lived with many diverse cultures. I explain to my children that they are at a disadvantage growing up here as there are not the cultural differences like we had in Georgia, especially where I lived. My hometown is also the home for one of the largest nuclear submarine bases. I was fortunate to grow up

the article, How Unconscious Bias Affects Everything You Do it implies that trying to eliminate your hidden bias will not be possible due them being so natural (Ross, 2014). However, we can change our mindset to avoid being bias. One way these biases can impact with my future clients is by not educating myself and learning the skills and acquiring the knowledge needed to work with different clients that have different cultures. That is why it is crucial to be cultural competent because by doing so
