Confirmation Biases01:31

Confirmation Biases

5.5K
The confirmation bias is the tendency to focus on information that confirms our existing beliefs and ignore information that is inconsistent with our expectations. For example, if you think that your professor is not very nice, you notice all of the instances of rude behavior exhibited by the professor while ignoring the countless pleasant interactions he is involved in on a daily basis. Have you ever fallen prey to the confirmation bias, either as the source or target of such bias?

Bias01:22

Bias

3.8K
Bias refers to any tendency that prevents a question from being considered unprejudiced. In research, bias occurs when one outcome or answer is selected or encouraged over others in sampling or testing. Bias can occur during any research phase, including study design, data collection, analysis, and publication.
In statistics, a sampling bias is created when a sample is collected from a population, and some members of the population are not as likely to be chosen as others (remember, each member...

Stereotypes, Prejudice, and Discrimination

90.0K
Humans are very diverse and although we share many similarities, we also have many differences. The social groups we belong to help form our identities (Tajfel, 1974). These differences may be difficult for some people to reconcile, which may lead to prejudice toward people who are different. Prejudice is a negative attitude and feeling toward an individual based solely on one’s membership in a particular social group (Allport, 1954; Brown, 2010). Prejudice is common against people who...

Stereotype Threat and Self-fulfilling Prophecies

37.5K
When we hold a stereotype about a person, we have expectations that he or she will fulfill that stereotype. A self-fulfilling prophecy is an expectation held by a person that alters his or her behavior in a way that tends to make it true. When we hold stereotypes about a person, we tend to treat the person according to our expectations. This treatment can influence the person to act according to our stereotypic expectations, thus confirming our stereotypic beliefs. Research by Rosenthal and...

Bias in Epidemiological Studies

163
Biases can arise at various stages of research, from study design and data collection to analysis and interpretation. Recognizing and addressing these biases is essential to ensure the validity and reliability of epidemiological findings.Broadly speaking, biases in epidemiology fall into three main categories: selection bias, information bias, and confounding. A more detailed description of possible biases is:

Stereotype Content Model02:16

Stereotype Content Model

14.0K
The Stereotype Content Model (SCM) was first proposed by Susan Fiske and her colleagues (Fiske, Cuddy, Glick & Xu, 2002; see also Fiske, 2012 and Fiske, 2017). The SCM specifies that when someone encounters a new group, they will stereotype them based on two metrics: warmth—or that group’s perceived intent, and how likely they are to provide help or inflict harm—and competence—or their ability to carry out that objective. Depending on the warmth-competence...

    Area of Science:

    • Social Sciences
    • Higher Education Studies
    • Racial Equity Research

    Background:

    • Academic recognition and career progression are influenced by societal perceptions.
    • Understanding the role of voter familiarity in evaluating professors' work is crucial.

    Discussion:

    • Voter familiarity with academic work significantly correlates with perceptions of Black and Hispanic professors.
    • Lower familiarity exacerbates biases, leading to poorer outcomes for underrepresented minority faculty.

    Key Insights:

    • The study reveals a direct link between public knowledge of academic contributions and the evaluation of professors from minority backgrounds.
    • Lack of familiarity with the work of Black and Hispanic professors disadvantages them in public perception.

    Outlook:

    • Future research should explore interventions to increase public understanding of academic research.
    • Addressing familiarity gaps can promote greater equity in higher education and public discourse.
