- Dr Jennifer Eberhardt, author of Biased: Uncovering the Hidden Prejudice That Shapes What We See, Think and Do, and a recent panellist on #Oprah's Town Hall, gives an insight into #unconsciousbias. Dr Eberhardt explains if bias are left unchecked it can lead to great detriment for social groups and the world that we share.
We thought it was worth re-sharing this powerful presentation from our Goalkeepers 2019 event on unconscious bias and its connection to systemic #racism and entrenched #inequalities.

In 2015, world leaders agreed to 17 Global Goals (officially known as the Sustainable Development Goals or SDGs). These goals have the power to create a better world by 2030, by ending poverty, fighting inequality and addressing the urgency of climate change. Guided by the Goals, it is now up to all of us, governments, businesses, civil society and the general public to work together to build a better future for everyone.

Unfortunately, being biased is part of being human, we are biased about everything, you go to the supermarket and you choose produce based on the way they look. You go into a bad neighborhood and you choose not to walk by a certain kind of people, if you fail at that, you are a fool and you're exposing yourself to a dangerous situation. Bias is good, it's being good for millions of years of evolution.
Being able to examen ourselves is also part of being human, looking at where we can improve is also part of being human
This means when you make a decision there is an invisible force making a decisions.
If I have "Unconscious Bias" that I can't control, I won't worry about it.
Besides, it doesn't really matter what you're thinking. What matter most to other people is how you behave.
Your actions matter; what you think privately in your mind doesn't.
Thoughts are the birthplace of actions
@@martyismay
So are conscious sanctimonious thoughts.
Can you define "unconscious bias"?
Unconscious Biased, especially in workplace HR videos, should be more accurately titled - 'So you didn't think you were Racist, let me prove you wrong'
How could I contribute Vietnamese subtitle to videos which do not support the community contribution feature. I want to share this message to my community.
Thank you Ngan for your message. We currently don't have this video in Vietnamese but we appreciate your interest and will look to provide subtitles in other languages.
@@TheGlobalGoals Thats why this person asked how could they contribute.
It seems that "unconscious bias" training attempts to unwind natural pattern development in humans. And the only way to deal with it is to constantly fight against it? Seems debilitating.
Also, it seems to attempt to reverse eons of observed behavioral tendencies of one’s potential threat vectors.
Seems debilitating? No more than daily thought. Ever have intrusive thoughts? Like "what would happen if I fell and smacked my head on the table, concrete step, etc." Or "what if I sneezed mid turn while driving and over/under turned and hit that car" it's no more debilitating than that.
You're overthinking it with focusing on the word "training" think of it more as being aware of yourself and your tendencies.
@@bongofury5924 it's not attempting to reverse it, specifically, just be aware of it.
@@SevAngst what? Really? Just stop the madness. These videos are so ridiculous, it doesn't make you racist or whatever, having "unconscious bias".
To say our perception is biased is to assume that there is unbiased perception. What then is unbiased perception? Our perception is always "biased" in that millions of years of evolution have shaped our perception into hierarchies of importance or concern for our survival. True "unbiased" perception would simply be utter neutrality towards everything.
@Emilie Bouchard
'Bias between groups of individuals can be measured'
I would disagree, for starters how can you measure such a thing?
Looking at the explanation in the video, how does this bias work where Asians are more successful.
If this unconscious bias is correct, how can this be explained?
Personally I would say the culture in which an individual grows up plays the biggest part in their own life.
This video isn't making a case for being unbiased, its for looking at how our biases shape. Your response and others on this thread like it seem to me to lack any sense of personal responsibility towards looking at habits in thinking that can become harmful.
The Dr is right in one aspect unconscious biased is neither bad or good. It is what you do with it. Everyday we each make decisions how we are going to treat others. If you were raised and taught right you live more by the “Golden Rule”. Ultimately whatever your unconscious bias is, it is you action and treatment of others that makes it good or bad. One can be aware of unconscious biased but if you are an adult and have had interactions with people day in and out from all walks of life you should already know how to communicate and treat others fairly. It is a conscious choice regardless of what unconscious bias you might have. It’s called control. I simply do not need the good Dr or anyone else for that matter to teach me how to control and conduct myself as an adult. My unconscious biases do not control me. I control them. End of discussion.
You cannot be more wrong. Your unconscious biases are 'unconscious'. You won't control them, let alone know about them. They are called implicit biases for a reason.
Where is the rest of the presentation?
What do it mean to become aware of something
To paraphrase the late, great Bernard Manning, when asked if he was a racist: ‘Yes, I like some people, I dislike some people’.
There is no evidence that unconscious bias can be measured nor is the evidence of anti-unconscious bias training has any effects on change.
Site a pier reviewed source. She's a college professor presenting her material, your turn. Burden of proof now lies on you.
@@SevAngst You got him there. A college professor can never be wrong. Their word is law.
@@SevAngst it was reviewed next to a shoreline?
@@SevAngst lol a college professor? So what? You do realize college professors can spout propaganda and be flat out wrong right?
@@SevAngst I presented my arguments from her speech in comments. I'd love to see a large double blind study funded suggesting her hypothesis that by just thinking you a different race or gender that you can change performance on some task. Just pick any random gender/race stereotype, recruit only people of that gender or race, have them perform measured task multiple times, pass a note to half of them to tell them to think they are a different race or gender, have them do the same and see if performance increased from placebo group. If this is true (which it's not), we could solve so many issues....
I was thinking Iris was the fish. I know she said it was Colombo but I was unconsciously thinking wasn't that really Peter Falk.
When I think of a dog, I don't see a cat. Nor do I see a dog that's 250lbs. Although they do exist. Most dogs are around 15 to 40 lbs.There's no bias there other than my brain just thinks of the most common types I've seen and personally experienced. Same goes for couples. I don't see any Chinese and Black couples. If they exist, I haven't seen one. Nor do I see Mexican and Korean couples. But I do see plenty of black/black, white/white/ and so forth. I'm not sure it even takes a Doc with a PhD to tell me those "biases" exist in all of us, and for good reason.
And as far as women Presidents, since there hasn't been one, I don't expect ever to see one nor do I want to see one if the only clear distinction is that she owns a vagina. I'm Canadian and we had a female Prime Minister for a brief time and she wasn't anything special. To me, she was cut from the basic same cloth as all other Canadian politicians with a background in law. Yup-tee-doo.
This isn't the kind of bias that even matters. What's terrible are those people who automatically assume, with no attributable frame of reference, that anything other than their own specific race is going to be trouble. I may not want a Muslim Prime Minister just on the basis that their religious convictions are diametrically opposite of my atheism and their world view will be affected by their core beliefs. They would have to go a long way to prove that they are working within the boundaries of Canadian values and would not impose their concepts which have been established by Islamic values for generations. But just like J. Trudeau., his "whiteness" and French background (similar to mine) doesn't make me feel any better about him being Prime Minister either. I don't form any allegiance to race or ethic background per se. I want someone with the skills and the brains to do the job effectively and fairly. That's truly my "bias".
Having worked in the computer field for decades, I've worked with a lot of people from different ethnic and racial backgrounds. I didn't see any reason to treat them any differently than those white guys I worked with. They did their jobs right and knew a lot. But there was never any chance any of them would become friends with me. They seemed to keep their distance. I can't explain why but it was evident there wasn't anything I could do to bridge that gap. So to me, it was clear they favoured their own as much or even more than the white guys I worked with.
You missed the point of her presentation. You need to go back and watch it again. Turn it down slow if you need to .
@@itsreallyrona No need to review the video. I got it on the first go round, thank you. I'm not that dense. Modern HR departments are full of these pseudo-science quacks these days.
Would help if one could actually see the pictures she is referring to!
Apparently "Dr." Eberhardt has taken Vladimir Lenin's advice to heart: "A lie told often enough becomes the truth."

Yeah, if the sky is blue, they want to think it’s red. Lol
Anyone who has to say “right?“ All the time obviously is trying to lead the witness.
Love her!
I no longer have a bias about a lecturer about bias being good.
I used to, but this talk is so disappointing it got rid of this bias.

Analysis of speech:
Question 1 - I don't know, you can't tell who somebody is from a story
Question 2 - Ditto, I don't know
The doctor suggesting that Asians pick Asians, black to black, white to white... Umm, no not true, that sounds racist to me. Maybe if you live on an island with no other races I suppose.
Brain scan hypothesis - Is just that, a hypothesis... We are just now starting to learn more about the brain (exp with AI), but we can't make conclusions about what or why activity is different. Example: the grass is wet because it must have rained... It could be wet for many reasons other than rain.
States other research that suggest (ALL) people sterotype images without evidence or study reference to lookup.
States Joy's performance plummets on math test because she's a female... again, without evidence or study reference. One person's case is not significant in statistics. That's why they don't pass FDA drugs with a 1 person study... Joy may have some mental issue such as performance anxiety and it's unrelated to any gender at all.
Stating if Joy thinks she's asian ... hear people laughing in background. Again, this without evidence and is starting to sound racist. Keeping with this doctor's racist ideology and how ridiculous it is ... She basically, is suggesting that if you believe asians are bad drivers, by thinking you are another race you would become a better driver? This is like the most racist stuff I've heard of and I doubt anyone would fund a study on it as how ridiculous it sounds and obviously is false.
Lawyer/President - Male or female - I don't know, could be either.
Banker/Jail/etc. - I don't know, could be anybody.
If you have a brain you have bias... Not true, she is suggesting that everyone has "racial" bias, but from earlier you can see none of those arguments made sense and thus this is false as well.
She doesn't discuss TRUE bias that some people can be affected by such as confirmation, availability, or anchoring bias. I feel that people duped into this racial bias argument is a victim of availability bias :)
A small group of people are true racist, but the argument that all people hold racial bias is not correct. Maybe people that are true racist.
automatic unconscious bias, it's you that needs to be fixed...
Yeah, It’s not normal to act normal, this world is getting more screwed up when you have someone else telling you what to believe.
automatic unconscious bias, I Am Right You Are Wrong...
I don't get it, they all looked kinda the same.
Maybe the video is too small
It's actually called the Most Average Facial Appearance Effect. We recognize faces similar to our own better than other races.
automatic unconscious bias, something is wrong, something has to be fixed...
394 likes on a 53k view vid, hmmmmmmmmmmmmm........... i wonder how many dislikes could have been, shame.
So very well put, but one problem.
If this is true please explain why individuals from an Asian background do better than 'white people'?
What do you mean?
@@samtan6304
To be honest with you it is all a load of rubbish.
Just take the start, the lady gives a description of someone then asks people which person it is based on a photo.
It is impossible to know who does what based on a photo.
If this unconscious bias is true, then given that individuals from an Asian background are statistically better off, does that mean they get preferential treatment unconsciously?
Racial obsession is the real problem.
Agreed, I love Morgan Freeman's arguments on race! It's just being talked about to separate us. The bigger issue is income inequality. Lookup the Gini index over time. Top 10% of earners hold 55% of wealth in 2020 vs. 50% in 1820. Bottom 50% of earners hold 7% of wealth vs. 15% in 1820. Middle 40% is about the same. Bottom 50% average income is 75K per year. Top 10% is 173K. It should be broken down even further for analysis.
Flash up the World Ecoomic Forum, why don't you. As an aside. The Women of Ireland have spoken. March 8th Referendum. 🎉
She is putting one person on the screen, telling us the story, then putting lots of faces up and asking us to guess which one fits the story!😂
With that mouth of hers I'm surprised she needed a mic. Also She literally proved that, indeed, people of the same race and similar facial features do in fact look similar. Absolute genius she is that's why she teaches at Stanford University. For the Other Race Effect, Perhaps it's because races evolve independently, that means that certain races pick up certain facial features and at a young age the children learn to pick up on these facial features. It's why when you are very young, you will sometimes accidentally confuse someone with your own mother. The side effect of this is people can't tell other races apart as well because they didn't learn at a very young age to pick up those specific cues. It's not racism, it's not knowing the facial cues of specific races because you didn't grow up around those races.
5x2=10, because I'm a man

I have heard that the best Basketball players are in the NBA. If this is true, please choose from the image in your brain was it someone with a higher degree of darker skin color or was it someone with a higher degree of lighter skin color? If your image was the one of a higher degree of darker skin color sadly you definitely have ' unconscious bias ' which shows your are a racist and a ' oppressor ' to the ones around you. I myself believe in Equity and don't understand why the NBA is such a racist organization. They only allow an unequal amount of those higher degree of darker skin color persons ( ' oppressors ' ) to play and ' take ' all the money from those with a higher degree of lighter skin color ( ' oppressed ... victims ' ). ' If you cannot achieve equality of outcome among people both to the same parents and raised under the same roof, how realistic is it to expect to achieve it across broader and deeper social divisions ( by Gov/ State mandates ) ? ' by Thomas Sowell
We recognize our own kind and that means you're racist..., the end.
Way to take it way out of context. You're purposefully doing that to avoid actually self reflecting.
She's saying unconscious bias happens, it's ok, youre not a bad person for it, but be AWARE of it and how it may play a role in initial reactions, regardless of final determinations of someones character.
I hear a country accent and see a cowboy hat, I think 2 digit IQ, country music, and horrible hygiene. Because that's what I grew up around. But I'm aware that's just my initial thought process and not to stick my bias to this person.
As I'm learning in school, unconscious bias can show up in body language and non-verbal or extraverbal ways. One way to combat this is to become more self-aware and seek out hypnotherapy to work on changing your biases.
Don't be silly.
Just get on with your life and stop worrying about thios nonsense. Just treat people fairly and reasonably and judge them by their actions. Do that and you will be fine
Don't waste time on it... Math is real, focus on that.
Hi. We also made a video about Unconscious Bias ua-cam.com/video/RhqMEiTVICU/v-deo.html which we thought your viewers might be interested in.
The good doctor proved nothing with those examples.
She proved that once it is explained to you that are looking to remember a person and pick them out from a line up, you will more likely spot that person.
I work with many individuals from many different racial backgrounds. I can easily recognise them.
Meeting a complete stranger then expecting to remember them immediately though is not easy at all.
😮 wait untill i get politician😅😅😅😅this can be used on race reliogion you name it i love psykology
Yes! Unconscious biases are natural. The problem are conscious biases and people not being aware of their unconscious biases and therefor not adjusting their behaviour accordingly (at least in critical situations).
I just treat everyone the same, if someone has a problem with how I'm speaking to them they can always talk to me as I'm pretty reasonable. On the other hand I have been called a racist for giving a half Mexican/ white guy a promotion over a black employee. I only did this because the initiative I saw the one employee take over anyone else on the crew, he learned fiber optics at home and paid for certifications in networking. The other guy was late at least five times in a month and was so hungover one day and I had to send them home early. The guy who complain didn't last a lot longer but he tried starting problems with me in my community which was predominantly black and I started receiving death threats. really it's situation by situation but I can't sit here and be told that I unconsciously biased against other people. I try my best always
@@Devyn_LV it sounds like you have pointed out the biggest issue.
People who believe that they are being treated unfairly, because of a belief that they are being discriminated against, instead of taking personal responsibility for their own actions.
I wouldn't expect a promotion if I was regularly late, it doesn't set a good example for the workforce.
Did he get an interview debrief?
And what is your proof?
Ridiculous. How can you correct an unconscious bias if you are unaware of it. You're unconscious and there is no way of adjusting any kind of behavior. The unconscious bias is just a theory and not backed by any facts. And if you say that there are unconscious biases, then that applies to all races not just one.
I wish people told me I was Asian while in HS…
I can't believe this is being picked up by corporate HR required training (at least where I'm at) .... I wish someone would fund a large double blind study telling half the kids in HS that they are Asian measuring math scores before and after telling them... Likely it will be met with the same thing from the her audience ... laughter and have no effect on outcome. Then hopefully people realize this is all BS.
I had no idea who either of the women were. How u would from her description is beyond me. This was one of the most useless exercises I have ever seen. This women gets paid for this?
This is common sense... and I did not go to Harvard or Stanford. It's all pattern recognition from the input of all our senses that gets stored in the brain consciously and subconsciously.
It's definetly not common sense. Most people don't stop to think about it, sadly.

Guess which random chick is 28 years old, has a pet fish named Columbo, lives in LA, has a brown belt in taekwondo, and is working on her masters degree!
Guessed wrong? Bias! Bias, bias, bias!
The problem with a lot of people these days is they want complete strangers to take one look at them and instantly know everything about them, and respond accordingly.
That would be the ultimate bias.
And will someone please tell me why it's important to know that Iris lives in LA and has a pet fish named Columbo? Really? That's the kind of thing you get to know about a person by making small talk and getting to know each other if both have the time and the inclination.
I love animals. And would adore little Columbo. Just saying, it's ridiculous to put up random pictures of women and guess ridiculous things about them.
Individualism culture. Thanks capitalism.
Agreed, it's fake and a waste of time... However, it would be possible to look at someone and know everything about them given the government forced everyone to having a social media profile and linked that with face recognition :) Then you wear some internet connected smart glasses and it can tell you lots of random information about random people you don't care about :)
