Via Cambridge University Press
“The concept of implicit bias–the idea that the unconscious mind might hold and use negative evaluations of social groups that cannot be documented via explicit measures of prejudice–is a hot topic in the social and behavioral sciences. It has also become a part of popular culture, while interventions to reduce implicit bias have been introduced in police forces, educational settings, and workplaces. Yet researchers still have much to understand about this phenomenon. Bringing together a diverse range of scholars to represent a broad spectrum of views, this handbook documents the current state of knowledge and proposes directions for future research in the field of implicit bias measurement."
Jon Krosnick is the Frederic O. Glover Professor of Humanities and Social Sciences and professor in the Departments of Communication and Political Science.
