Pretty Gnostic MachineBias isn't a trait but a situation-virus. It infects the room before it infects you.
Shift the cues, swap the script, and the contagion falters.
Sophia's whisper: build better rooms, let structure teach the mind new habits.
Implicit bias isn’t a demon in your skull, it's wallpaper on the world, soaked with centuries of shortcuts and slogans. You breathe it in like lead paint dust.
To fix it, confession isn't enough.
You must smash the architecture, rip down blueprints, and retrain the ghosts.
nixAn older article but still quite pertinent.
"if you’re part of an urbanist organization, you probably ought to make an active effort to reach out and recruit people from various neighborhoods and communities. And you ought to do it not by convincing them of things they don’t already believe, but by appealing to things they consider in their own self-interest."

StrypeyDr Philip Polkinghorne is the latest in a long line of convicted criminals who fit the image of 'respectable citizen', not the reactionary caricature of what "criminals" look like (poor, underemployed, brown, etc);

Yet these inaccurate "law and order" stereotypes persist. Why? Implicit bias. The same bias allows governments to cancel programs based on researched evidence for the causes of crime, in favour of 3 Strikes approaches.
🧑🎄Santa Prefers Falafel🧆Is there racial bias in the drafting of baseball players? A new study tries to quantify it using reactions to #BLM.
My first thought is that attempting to measure ANYTHING about society from Facebook and Twitter posts seems like it will reflect badly on everyone, everywhere, all of the time, forever.

Rainbow Diversity Institute🌟 Implicit Bias: The Hidden Influencer 🌟
Implicit Bias affects our actions without us even knowing! These biases can shape decisions and policies, perpetuating inequality.
🧠 Reflect: Are your decisions fair and inclusive? Awareness is key!

Study: People show verbal hesitation towards left-wing political terms
Researchers found that Israeli participants were slower to respond to left-wing political terms in spatial tasks—a delay that increased after political priming. Follow-up tests ruled out sound or spatial factors, suggesting an implicit taboo effect toward left-wing language.

Nick Byrd, Ph.D.A dissertation reports a 5-min #bias training didn't reliably improve #implicitBias test scores (N = 120): https://digitalcommons.liberty.edu/doctoral/6317
In 2019 I argued this isn't surprising: https://doi.org/10.1007/s11229-019-02128-6
Since, longer training hasn't worked either: https://doi.org/10.1177/05390184241230397
Examining Differences in Implicit Bias Towards Students of Color Within the Higher Education System
This quantitative, quasi-experimental, static-group comparison design study aims to address the unknown factors of implicit bias within our public education system by examining the differences between the awareness of school staff towards students of color. The theories that guided this study were the Theory of Experience and the Theory of Leader-Member Exchange (LMX) Theory. The Theory of Experience emphasizes the need for a positive connection between the school staff and students of color to prevent social injustice through awareness and empathetic behavior. The LMX theory supports the need for positive behavior from the school staff to increase the motivation and self-efficacy of the student (Khorakian & Sharifirad, 2019). Data was collected using the Affect Misattribution Procedure which is favorably compared with the Implicit Association Test, and an intervention. The data were analyzed using ANOVA (SPSS) analysis of the 120 participants from higher education. This technique allowed me to gather assumptions, normality, linear relationships, Homogeneity of Variances, and Homogeneity as well as the Tukey test. The outcome was statistically significant and showed an increased positive response rate following the intervention groups. Future research recommends examining multiple schools at different levels of academia and in various locations (other states).
Berner Dad for EquALLityMaybe I can help clarify things.
Heterosexuals should not be referred to as “straight” unless you intend to infer that LGBT are “crooked” although it does seem that many heterosexuals are in fact not happy.
Using the term “straight” reveals your implicit bias. Be curious enough to learn about and recognize those.
