The Science of Bias: How Cognition and
Motivation Impact Judgment – Part 2
Many of us believe that we evaluate and treat people fairly. However, despite our best
intentions, we often show bias – racial, gender, and otherwise – with profound effects on
how we see and interact with the world around us. This session will consider socialpsychological strategies to reduce bias and its impact on decision-making and outcomes and discuss ways they might be implemented in organizational contexts. Attendees should be prepared to share and discuss knowledge of their organization’s existing guidelines, processes, and procedures that currently contribute to group-based
disparities. Together, we will consider how strategies might be implemented to reduce
these disparities.
