The list is endless & includes age. We use to call it the generation gap because if you haven't been around the block a few times you would'nt know what going on there. Another words what's new to our youth is not so new to the aged. It's simply the learning curve with changing times mixed in there. On top of that we don't all share the same experiences & heart aches at the same time. Insisting that were all biased or rascist to some degree doesn't inspire those who might be to concider it. It also doesn't even motivate those who might otherwise lend an ear to listen. Instead it blatantly assumes the worst from those who might take pride in doing the right thing. To them those pointing the finger look more biased. My mom & dad use to say you can't judge a book by its cover & unless you've experienced an on going pattern of behavior in someone you should always give the benefit of the doubt. Even if you do eventually see a pattern it's not your business to rehabilitate them. You can't fix everyone & everything but you can be the change for others to see.
How do you recognise it? Is everyone assumed to have one? Or do some people inherently not/do have? How do you measure it? Who is trusted to measure it? How do we ensure it’s regulated? Which biases are most important? Or are they all the same? When does a discernment become a bias? Who is tasked to tell so? How do you know you don’t have it? How can you tell someone who had it, no longer has it? How can you tell if a bias assumption is actually true or false. what do we do if an assumption based on a bias is in fact true? Where do biases arise? Do all biases have real world effects? Etc etc ......
@@Shockguey everyone has implicit bias, but only whites get offended because whites judge themselves as hard as they judge others. They can’t take it when their hypocrisy is exposed. Most blacks don’t really care about bias, it’s part of life. It only gets annoying when whites claim they don’t have bias, and that they’re always right.
The criticism is more that implicit bias does not shape behaviour by any measurable means And this year having a bias outside of the realm of your own consciousness Then there is no way you can correct it
People don't believe in implicit bias because it doesn't exist. There is no evidence to show that it does exist. It's just a hypothetical thought and not backed by any scientific proof. If anything, bias is learned behavior. Such as a cat being attacked by a dog for the first time. If the cat survives, it may have a bias against dogs. Or if a person is attacked by a cat when they are young, they may not like cats. Its not implicit, it's learned from an interaction.

@@ninnikins4768 Wrong. Introvert bias has a massive impact on things like the partner you end up with, the jobs you get and the friends you have. Read Malcolm Gladwells blink for evidence of how height bias effects people.
I think implicit bias is rooted in the fact that the human brain in babies and young children are programmed to recognize faces of their own race. This is obviously amplified if that child rarely experiences any other faces until they begin going to school. Then, in many rural schools as well as some urban schools they still may not be exposed to very many different faces. I suspect that part of the reason we have facial recognition is so that we can recognize impending danger, from animals or other humans. Just seeing a face we don’t recognize that is a different race it could give you s sense of fear. All these factors apply to implicit bias.
@@Plebus3 it would be something every parent should endeavor to do always. Maybe firm diversity groups so kids can experience people who look different.
Yes, children should be exposed to different faces and not just read about them in a book. I grew up in a rural little town and all we have is Mexican and Mexican American faces! A few white people but it's mostly Latin people since we all live next to the border.
@@edwinamendelssohn5129 A pattern by itself isn't a bias. Extrapolating from a small sample size to make a decision about a larger group potentially is a bias. If a white american doctor is presented with a patient who has a pattern of symptoms that in 90% of cases is gastroenteritis, and 10% of cases is stomach cancer, they first treat for the gastroenteritis because its more likely to be that, and treatment will be quicker, cheaper and less damaging to the patient. If that treatment doesn't work, they will explore for the cancer. The pattern recognition wasn't a bias. It was a tool. If that same doctor takes a look at the patient list for the day, sees they have one space left for an appointment and two people requesting to see the doctor, both presenting with the exact same problem, and they make a snap decision to choose the patient with the name that sounds like it is a white American rather than the one that might be an Asian American, then that probably is a bias.

God specified for us what is right in the Qur’an when he said (O ye who believe! Stand out firmly for Allah, as witnesses to fair dealing, and let not the hatred of others to you make you swerve to wrong and departed from justice. Be just: that is next to piety: and fear Allah. For Allah is well-acquainted with all that ye do )
The science suggests exactly the opposite of what you say. The problem is that your identity and your career, rely on racism - so if it's not there, you have to make it up. You are the problem, not the solution. Get a better attitude and get a real job.
Not bad. But the thing about needing someone who's irrationally crazy about you,,,,... I highly doubt that. I might even want to avoid that person. I might want to say, "Hey, knock it off, get real. What's up with you?". Also, I wouldn't limit biases so much as you did. There's all kinds. And, they're not always bad. But, I get what you're saying.
“Point number 3. We can’t criticize my work or the things I say, that’d be a big problem based on work of these researchers that isn’t related to what I’m saying.”
I like this conversation. However, the science he is referring to is inaccurate and only scored a .5 on reliability on a 0-1 scale. Implicit bias is very difficult to identify. However when you are self aware then these implicit bias are no long subconscious.
I appreciate that self-awareness is the most important aspect of this, but it's an oversimplification, as it isn't a destination, and can come and go. Sometimes you need more information to be able to accurately interpret what you're observing in yourself.
So what about the fundamentals of reasoning? I cannot know I have an implicit bias? I don't buy the argument. Why? Primarily, the people around me (friends, family, colleagues, etc.,) will tell me if/when there's something seriously wrong. So, does the argument then suggest that others around you (your closest relationships) cannot tell that you have an implicit bias either? Come on, that's ridiculous. I guarantee you if your boss or employer has an issue with an explicit bias or a potential implicit bias other's have noticed, you will know because you'll be pulled into someone's office to discuss it. 2nd, is reasoning. You suggest you cannot introspectively know you have it. I say contemplate your naval, have close relationships where people will be authentic, genuine and "real" with you, and you'll know if/when you have an implicit bias. You also don't indicate whether "implicit bias" is inherently bad or good. Based on the topic of the video, I can surmize you see them as bad, but by reasoning in this fashion (maybe implicit bias is good) does that automatically suggest I have a negative implicit bias? Your argument doesn't allow for a contrary belief, and by presenting one, it would be suggested the user then has a bias toward implicit bias.
EMS you’re not factor in the power of “group think”. If your associate primarily with a select group of people who share the same beliefs, it is possible to have these biases and not be aware of it. You see this play out along religious exposure, and/or when you’ve never been expose to other cultures.
It does depend on who you work with, who you play with, who you spend your time with. If they generally have a similar background, they may think similarly to you and not even notice - unless they/you have become more self-aware.

I would not allow children to attend a school that fosters experiences of violence to all the other children due to having low standards of discipline. Thats shameful.

Maybe rewatch the video, sit and think about it truly and deeply. Then do some further research on it. It does no harm to think about the unconscious negative morals and prejudices we may hold cause even the most progressive people can have this implicit bias.
I took the Harvard IAT test and it showed that I did not have an implicit bias. so, what do we do about the boogieman that is implicit bias then? we've gone past thought police into subconscious thought police now? That said the statistics show that the majority of people do have bias toward in groups (a protective measure that has helped keep humans alive for millennia) my only issue with this speech is that it provides a problem without a clearly defined solution. in other words an ill defined call to action that ends up being nothing more than an interesting factoid. Does anyone have a solution for this information going forward?
Does anyone have a solution for this information going forward? The first step is to understand what it is and how to recognize it. The next step is to not freak out whenever it's brought up. Then maybe a real conversation can be had to build a consensus about it. There will never be a pill for it.
A potential answer - in scientific testing, especially in relation to social psychology, there's an issue called priming - if you make something salient in someone's mind, it can affect how they respond. For example, in a study where women were asked to take a maths test, they performed worse on the test after a man held the door open for them because they were reminded of their gender identity, therefore gender stereotypes (for example that women are worse at maths) and performed worse than if there had been no reminder of gender. In the IAT, if you make someone take a test which involves being biased (which most people don't want to be), then ask them to take it again afterwards the impact of the test is lost because they will be making more of a concerted effort to be less biased. This is why it's so hard to have conclusive evidence for the test as they will have a different mindset going into the second test, but that's also why it might not be that big of a deal that the test-retest validity is so poor. The first test is potentially more representative than the second. Unfortunately this is not an easy problem to fix and is why social psychology gets such a bad rep - it's ridiculously difficult to be certain of phenomena within the human mind, and science loves certainty!
The IAT looks at racial associations. Biases are present in every aspect of life (ex. wasp = bad/avoid) and aren't always a negative thing. Just because you tested to have no preference for one race over another doesn't mean you are void of ANY biases. Implicit bias absolutely exists and presents itself in countless ways. You can't just "get rid" of implicit biases and stereotypes. All you can do is recognize they exist and make decisions based around that understanding
Lmao what class you in dog? HUMN330 ERAU. I have this and a Ben Shapiro video. I've always like Shapiro and how he destroys people, so we'll see what he has to say. Get that A, king!
Good talk but I disagree with the last statement. I don't think it is good to encourage irrational behaviour. Even though it is about affection irrationality can be unstable and that affection could manifest in over protective and controlling ways for example.
The claims made in this video are neither convincing nor interesting. Also the implicit association test he alludes to as evidence of implicit bias has been debunked: subsequent research identified that the direction a person initially glances in simply reflects which subject they are most FAMILIAR with and doesnt actually translate into BIASED positive/negative attitudes towards the subjects.
I enjoyed and appreciated this, but am distracted by the quote at the end. I love the quote he gave, but fail to understand how it fits into the rest of the talk. What did I miss? Not being insulting to Dushaw, just trying to understand thoroughly. Thanks.
Bingo! If anyone considers it to be a "science," then it is expanding the definition of "soft science." So far, my impression is that this is more in the category of "quack science" or "pseudo science," but calling it either of those seems too generous.
@@jazzcheney5500 It is a controversial topic that is studied by some in the field of Psychology. However, to refer to "the science of implicit bias" is similar to referring to "the science of the Loch Ness Monster." That isn't to say there isn't implicit bias, just that trendy ideas about it are closer to fantasy than science.
none of the examples he gives of the contradictions between implicit biases and conscious beliefs are at all contradictory. suspending and even expelling disruptive and dangerous students from schools is done to protect the lives and safety of the majority of nondisruptive students who want to learn. also to create an educational environment that doesn't have endless outbursts so those who want to learn can learn. stopping and frisking of men of color is done in neighborhoods and cities where statistically the majority of crime is done by men of color. it would be counterproductive to concentrate on other demographics, when it can be shown on all relevant and scientific data on crime in these areas are being committed by men of color.

That said the statistics show that the majority of people do have bias toward in groups (a protective measure that has helped keep humans alive for millennia) my only issue with this speech is that it provides a problem without a clearly defined solution. in other words an ill defined call to action that ends up being nothing more than an interesting factoid. Does anyone have a solution for this information going forward?
Does anyone have a solution for this information going forward? The first step is to understand what it is and how to recognize it. The next step is to not freak out whenever it's brought up. Then maybe a real conversation can be had to build a consensus about it. There will never be a pill for it.
The Harvard IAT test exhibits more "implicit bias" than most people do.
jedimasterham2 I took it and I got no implicit bias
A potential answer - in scientific testing, especially in relation to social psychology, there's an issue called priming - if you make something salient in someone's mind, it can affect how they respond. For example, in a study where women were asked to take a maths test, they performed worse on the test after a man held the door open for them because they were reminded of their gender identity, therefore gender stereotypes (for example that women are worse at maths) and performed worse than if there had been no reminder of gender. In the IAT, if you make someone take a test which involves being biased (which most people don't want to be), then ask them to take it again afterwards the impact of the test is lost because they will be making more of a concerted effort to be less biased. This is why it's so hard to have conclusive evidence for the test as they will have a different mindset going into the second test, but that's also why it might not be that big of a deal that the test-retest validity is so poor. The first test is potentially more representative than the second. Unfortunately this is not an easy problem to fix and is why social psychology gets such a bad rep - it's ridiculously difficult to be certain of phenomena within the human mind, and science loves certainty!
If you took the test multiple times you would get wildly different results. It is a bad test. The authors of the TEST even say that.
I took the test and I have 0 implicit bias
congratulations
I strongly relate to my race
Nelly G none?!?!
Generalized horse poop
The IAT looks at racial associations. Biases are present in every aspect of life (ex. wasp = bad/avoid) and aren't always a negative thing. Just because you tested to have no preference for one race over another doesn't mean you are void of ANY biases. Implicit bias absolutely exists and presents itself in countless ways. You can't just "get rid" of implicit biases and stereotypes. All you can do is recognize they exist and make decisions based around that understanding
How about some personal accountability, in addition to judging people by their character instead of the color of their skin. Keep it simple.
Dont really care about implicit anything. Thank you.
I have implicit bias, but I have no desire to do anything about it.
I'm here because my college is trying to propagandize to me
Lmao what class you in dog? HUMN330 ERAU. I have this and a Ben Shapiro video. I've always like Shapiro and how he destroys people, so we'll see what he has to say. Get that A, king!
so true
so nuanced and painful I gave up
Good talk but I disagree with the last statement. I don't think it is good to encourage irrational behaviour. Even though it is about affection irrationality can be unstable and that affection could manifest in over protective and controlling ways for example.
I thought you avatar was a eyelash on my screen. Took me a while hehe

The claims made in this video are neither convincing nor interesting.
Also the implicit association test he alludes to as evidence of implicit bias has been debunked: subsequent research identified that the direction a person initially glances in simply reflects which subject they are most FAMILIAR with and doesnt actually translate into BIASED positive/negative attitudes towards the subjects.
I enjoyed and appreciated this, but am distracted by the quote at the end. I love the quote he gave, but fail to understand how it fits into the rest of the talk. What did I miss? Not being insulting to Dushaw, just trying to understand thoroughly. Thanks.
Lost me at "the science of implicit bias" hogwash
Bingo! If anyone considers it to be a "science," then it is expanding the definition of "soft science." So far, my impression is that this is more in the category of "quack science" or "pseudo science," but calling it either of those seems too generous.
Would it not be a branch of psychology?
@@jazzcheney5500 It is a controversial topic that is studied by some in the field of Psychology. However, to refer to "the science of implicit bias" is similar to referring to "the science of the Loch Ness Monster." That isn't to say there isn't implicit bias, just that trendy ideas about it are closer to fantasy than science.
What makes you feel that it's closer to fantasy?
@@jazzcheney5500 It isn't a feeling, it is an observation. Are you familiar with recent information on studies about implicit bias?

My favorite part
I experienced a lot of shame growing up and I notice I still struggle with it when I'm feeling inadequate
none of the examples he gives of the contradictions between implicit biases and conscious beliefs are at all contradictory. suspending and even expelling disruptive and dangerous students from schools is done to protect the lives and safety of the majority of nondisruptive students who want to learn. also to create an educational environment that doesn't have endless outbursts so those who want to learn can learn. stopping and frisking of men of color is done in neighborhoods and cities where statistically the majority of crime is done by men of color. it would be counterproductive to concentrate on other demographics, when it can be shown on all relevant and scientific data on crime in these areas are being committed by men of color.
Yuk
Why?
Great talk but where is your tie? You look much less professional without one.
