Suitable for: All What does this mean?
Unconscious bias refers to the biases we have, of which we are not in conscious control. These biases occur automatically, triggered by our brain, making quick judgments and assessments of people and situations based on our background, cultural environment and our experiences.
Psychologists tell us that our unconscious biases are simply our natural ‘people preferences’. Biologically we are hard-wired to prefer people who look like us, sound like us and share our interests. This preference bypasses our normal, rational and logical thinking.
