FAQs

There is a sudden buzz about implicit/unconscious bias training. What is it, why should we be aware of it, does it have value? To answer the last question first, it has definite value if we want to know more about ourselves. Implicit bias refers to the personal choices that we make based on our life experience. These choices tend to be automatically triggered, and in most cases serve us well as a kind of shortcut without having to think through every option. Why do we choose to deal with the older, more experienced person? Or conversely, the younger person? Our life experience, combined with stereotypes in our mind, make those decisions for us. The real danger of not understanding our individual unconscious bias is when it comes to decisions like hiring. Do we tend to choose the person that looks and talks and acts most like us? Do we tend to rule out people that are not attractive, or that are from a different ethnic background? Unconscious bias should not be confused with prejudice. Individuals know it when they have a prejudice, but are not aware of their own implicit bias. It’s an important distinction because self discovery leads to change, and it leads to broadening the selection criteria. Awareness allows us to change, so the goal of implicit bias training should be to increase awareness, not to prejudge, or lecture, or impose guilt. The more we know about ourselves, the better choices we can make, leading to a fuller and richer spectrum of life.
