summary: this article tell us about implicit bias or unconscious bias which there is an implicit association test that was created by the Harvard University to help people to know about their implicit bias in order to stop discrimination. however many people including Hart Blanton, a professor of psychology said that their is very little evidence that the IAT test can change people mind or behavior.
reaction: in my opinion I think taking the IAT might be helpful for some group of people and some type of bias. as I took the test about gender it came out that I prefer straight people more than gay people and I don't think I would agree with that, maybe its just because I feel more comfortable with straight people than gay people didn't mean I would hat gay people
question: is there any other way to measure implicit bias
I quite understand and agree with you about the results of the IAT test. No matter what the final result is, we have to choose what we think we are familiar with and feel most comfortable to answering. So it doesn't mean that we are prejudiced or hate people of any particular group.
