Breadcrumb

A Clinical Psychologist, Vanessa Karises, has urged people with negative implicit bias to socialize with other people to inspire their actions.

Implicit bias is a form of bias that occurs automatically and unintentionally but nevertheless affects judgments, decisions, and behaviors.

Research has shown implicit bias can pose a barrier to recruiting and retaining a diverse scientific workforce.

Implicit bias influences factors such as behaviors, judgments, and decisions.

Karises says the influences can either be positive or negative.
