The idea that people have biases that
operate below the level of conscious thought is uncomfortable. But
decades of research have found that many people who would never
consciously agree with prejudiced statements against Black people,
LGBTQ people or women can nonetheless harbor implicit biases toward
these groups and others. Mahzarin Banaji, PhD, one of the pioneers
of implicit bias research, talks about where implicit biases come
from, the difference between implicit bias and prejudice, and which
biases have lessened – and which have not – in recent years.
