Which of the following is likely to be an example of unconscious bias? check all that apply.
Renee Navarro, PharmD, MD, Vice Chancellor, Diversity and Outreach welcomes you to UCSF's initiative to address unconscious bias. ( Read the transcript. ) Show Bias is a prejudice in favor of or against one thing, person, or group compared with another usually in a way that's considered to be unfair. Biases may be held by an individual, group, or institution and can have negative or positive consequences. There are types of biases 1. Conscious bias (also known as explicit bias) and 2. Unconscious bias (also known as implicit bias)
Unconscious biases are social stereotypes about certain groups of people that individuals form outside their own conscious awareness. Everyone holds unconscious beliefs about various social and identity groups, and these biases stem from one's tendency to organize social worlds by categorizing. Unconscious bias is far more prevalent than conscious prejudice and often incompatible with one's conscious values. Certain scenarios can activate unconscious attitudes and beliefs. For example, biases may be more prevalent when multi-tasking or working under time pressure. Science on Unconscious Bias Video Url Kizza Chadiha, MEPN, Program Coordinator, Office of the Dean, School of Nursing on the science of unconscious bias. (Transcript) Over the last three decades, our understanding of unconscious bias has evolved. The nature of unconscious bias is well understood, and an instrument (Implicit Association Test) to assess unconscious bias has been developed and rigorously tested. Here's what we know:
A substantial amount of research has been published demonstrating impact of unconscious bias in various domains including the criminal justice system, education, and health/health care (Kirwan Institute, 2014). Bias may have an impact on: hiring, and mentoring and may contribute to healthcare disparities.

Assessing Unconscious Bias Video Url Teresa Scherzer, PhD, MSW, Academic Programs Evaluator, Office of the Dean, School of Nursing on strategies to assess unconscious bias. (Transcript) For many years, scientists have been working on instruments to assess unconscious bias (also known as implicit associations). Of the various tools that are available, the Implicit Association Test (IAT) is one of the most popular and well-studies. The IAT was developed as part of a project to detect unconscious bias based on several factors including race, gender, sexual orientation and national origin. It was developed as part of Project Implicit, which blends basic research and educational outreach in a virtual laboratory that allows users to exam one's own hidden biases and understand stereotypes that exist below one's conscious awareness. Project Implicit comprises a network of laboratories, technicians, and research scientists at Harvard University, the University of Washington and the University of Virginia. How does the IAT work? The IAT measures the relative strength of associations between pairs of concepts. It is designed as a sorting task in which individuals are asked to sort images or words that appear on a computer screen into one of two categories. The basic premise is that when two concepts are highly correlated, people are able to pair those concepts more quickly than two concepts that are not well associated. The IAT is relatively resistant to social desirability concern, and the reliability and validity have been rigorously tested. How is the IAT used? The IAT is powerful instrument, which has been used to explore the impact of unconscious bias on behavior. Here are some examples highlighting the use of the IAT in healthcare.
Strategies to Address Unconscious Bias Unconscious biases are not permanent. In fact, they are malleable and steps can be taken to limit their impact on our thoughts and behaviors (Dasgupta, 2013). When considering strategies to address unconscious bias one must consider individual and institutional strategies.

(Transcript) Individual strategies to address unconscious bias include:

Unconscious Bias Resources Video Url Linda Centore, PhD, APRN, Clinical Professor, School of Dentistry on resources for unconscious bias. (Transcript) Below is a list of resources to learn more about unconscious bias. Please click on the link at the bottom of the page to sign up for a live, in-person unconscious bias training session at UCSF. You can also explore a more comprehensive list of recent and classic implicit bias literature. What is an example of an unconscious bias?1. Race bias. Making a statement like, “When I look at you, I don't see color.” Comments like this remove the acknowledgment of a person's skin color and invalidate their racial, ethnic, and cultural identity, which can be an important part of their lived experience.

What are the 3 types of bias examples?Confirmation bias, sampling bias, and brilliance bias are three examples that can affect our ability to critically engage with information.
