PSYC-FPX3540 Implicit Bias Worksheet

Consider how automatic components of implicit bias are present in the real world in your personal interactions with others (attitudes
and behaviors), such as in conversations with friends or coworkers, or in the media, such as in the news.

Choose two specific personal incidents and one you observed in the media, and, based on information from the Blaine and
Brenchley textbook, think about possible causes of the implicit bias you observed and complete the following five tasks (omit
identifiers, such as names of people or businesses):

Instruction Your Answer

Provide an example of a time when you observed possible


implicit bias in a work or social setting, or in the media on a
news segment or on an internet source. What cues led you
to believe that implicit bias may have played role in this
situation?

*Explain one possible cause of the implicit bias based on


information from our Blaine and Brenchley textbook.

Provide an example of a time where you believe you, a


family member, or a friend were stereotyped based on group
status and/or social identity. How did you feel when the
situation occurred? What if anything did you do?

*Explain one possible cause of the implicit bias based on


information from our Blaine and Brenchley textbook.

Instruction Your Answer

Describe a situation where your perceptions and/or


reactions were shaped by implicit bias. Were you aware of
the bias at the time or is it something you have considered in
retrospect? Explain your thoughts. Were your implicit biases
challenged?

*Explain how your insight into the situation can help you in
changing or shaping your personal or professional behavior
for the future.

Explain two or more strategies that can be used to prevent


and combat implicit bias.

*Use professional and scholarly sources to support the


effectiveness of the strategies, and cite those sources.
