Broadly speaking, group-based bias involves varying degrees of stereotyping (exaggerated beliefs about others), prejudice (dis/liking others), and/or discrimination (unequal treatment of others) that occur above or below conscious awareness. Scholars have labeled the unconscious form of group-based bias implicit bias. In this provocative and highly interactive presentation, Dr. Marks will describe the science behind the causes and consequences of implicit bias and its implications for court personnel and processes. Dr. Marks will also offer practical strategies for managing and potentially mitigating implicit bias at the personal and organizational levels.
