What is Bias and Prejudice?
Bias and prejudice are closely related and often used interchangeably. Both
have a negative impact on our dealings. Let us explore the differences between these
concepts. Bias is a tendency to look at things in a certain way, in preference to another
way. It means a tendency to favor or support or against a particular one person, group,
thing, or point of view over another resulting in unfairness.
Common Types of Bias
1. Anchoring Bias -This happens when people are too relied on current
information or the initial information they find in decision-making.
Example: From what I know, I chose you because I believed others are not as
good as you.
2. Media Bias -This happens when the journalists and news producers in the
mass media select what to report and cover.
Example: As a witness to the incident, I can attest that the reported news is far
from what I see because the events are reversed and untrue.
3. Confirmation - This happens when one tends to search for, interpret, favor
and remember information supporting one's belief and views.
Example: When he found out that the report did not agree with his views, he
immediately researched facts to prove that he was right.
4. Conformity - This happens when one makes a wrong or uncomfortable
decision to fit in to please the group of people. Example: Although I did not agree
with my will, I went with them to be happy. I was ashamed of my own helpless
decision.
5. Halo Effect - This happens when one sees the wonderful thing about a
person and let the perceptions on everything else about that person be distorted.
Example: Among the applicants, only Leo's papers were completely reviewed
because the manager was impressed with his awards and commendations.
What is Prejudice?
Prejudice refers to pre-judging before looking at the evidence. It is an
unfavorable opinion or feeling beforehand or without knowledge, thought, or reason.
Prejudice can have a strong influence on how people behave and interact with others,
particularly with those who are different from another group
5 common types of Prejudice
1. Racism - This is the idea that groups of people exhibit different personality
characteristics and can be separated based on the dominance of one race over another.
Example: All Chinese in the country are considered virus carriers due to the
COVID-19 disease
2. Sexism - This is a prejudice based on sex or gender.
Example: Women are considered weak and lack the strength and ability to do
the work of men.
3. Classism - This is a prejudice based on social class or grouping of individuals based
on wealth, occupation, income, education, and social network.
Example: The poor are uneducated and do not help our country; they should
not be treated well by the government.
4. Ageism - This is a prejudicial attitude towards older people, old age, and the aging
process.
Example: All adults should not be hired because they only become a burden,
especially those who deserve to retire.
5. Religious prejudice - This is the attitude towards a person or group differently
because of the particular beliefs about religion.
Example:
He lost his job because of his religion, which was believed to conflict with his
employer.
These types of prejudice can also be a form of bias. Similarly, a person can be
biased because of prejudice. However, prejudice and discrimination are different.
Prejudice refers to a person's thought or attitude, while discrimination is the behavior
acted upon by a prejudice regarding a certain group of people.”
