まとめ
ソーシャルサービス専門職は、明示的な好みはないと報告しているにもかかわらず、身体障害者に対して潜在的なバイアスを示すことが多い。この研究は、ソーシャルワークの実践におけるこれらの無意識の態度に対処するための介入の必要性を強調している。
科学分野:
- 社会心理学; 障害学; ソーシャルワーク研究
背景:
- 潜在的社会認知、または潜在的バイアスは、ソーシャルワークの実践に影響を与える可能性がある。ソーシャルサービス専門職の身体障害に対する態度の理解は、この集団との仕事のため、極めて重要である。
研究 の 目的:
- ソーシャルサービス専門職の身体障害に対する明示的および潜在的態度を定量的に分析すること。これらの態度と相関する要因を特定すること。身体障害に関連する潜在的バイアスを軽減するための介入策を議論すること。
主な方法:
- 5,167人のソーシャルサービス専門職(ソーシャルワーカー、カウンセラー)の2023年の二次データを用いた定量的分析。記述統計および推測統計の手法が用いられた。身体障害に対する明示的および潜在的態度の評価。
主要な成果:
- 70.3%が明示的な好みはないと回答し、23.7%が障害のない人を好み、6.0%が障害のある人を好んだ。77.8%が障害のない人に対して潜在的な好みを、13.7%が無意識の好みを持たず、8.5%が障害のある人を無意識に好んだ。明示的な態度と潜在的な態度の間には、しばしば低い明示的なバイアスと高い潜在的なバイアスという著しい不一致が観察された。年齢、性別、障害の有無、障害との個人的なつながり、教育、政治的指向が態度と相関していた。
結論:
- ソーシャルサービス専門職の相当な割合が、明示的な態度とは対照的に、身体障害者に対して潜在的なバイアスを抱いている。人口統計学的および個人的な要因が、明示的および潜在的な障害に対する態度と関連している。ソーシャルワークにおける障害に関連する潜在的バイアスを軽減するための教育的介入が提案されている。

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...

Confirmation Biases

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?

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...
