Our Own Bias A cognitive bias is a strong, preconceived notion of someone or something, based on information we have, perceive to have, or lack. These preconceptions are mental shortcuts the human brain produces to expedite information processing to quickly help it make sense of what it is seeing There are different types of biases we experience that influence and affect the way we think and behave, as well as our decision-making process. Societal stereotypes Cultural context Background Personal experiences Source: Charlotte Ruhl, 7
Ways to identify and reduce our own implicit bias Using Implicit - AAFP Source: American Academy of Family Physicians
Introspection: Explore and identify your own prejudices by taking implicit association tests or through other means of self-analysis https://implicit.harvard.edu/implicit/takeatest.html your biases when you re under pressure, practice ways to reduce stress and increase mindfulness, such as focused breathing, connect with nature, read. Mindfulness: Since you re more likely to give in to 9
Perspective-taking: Consider experiences from the point of view of the person being stereotyped. You can do this by reading or watching content that discusses those experiences or directly interacting with people from those groups. Learn to slow down: Before interacting with people from certain groups, pause and reflect to reduce reflexive actions. Consider positive examples of people from that stereotyped group, such as public figures or personal friends. 10
Individuation: Evaluate people based on their personal characteristics rather than those affiliated with their group. This could include connecting over shared interests. Check your messaging: As opposed to saying things like we don t see color, use statements that welcome and embrace multiculturalism or other differences. Institutionalize fairness: Support a culture of diversity and inclusion at the organizational level. AAFP.org 13
