Implicit Biases and the Unconscious: Liberal Biases, Racial Prejudice, and Politics (2021)
What happens when you mimic someone and don’t know that you do it? How do our automatic thoughts affect our stereotypes of others? Is discrimination an inevitability because of our hard-wired tendencies to categorize others as either ingroup or outgroup? What can we do to reduce our own biases? Does free will exist? Social automaticity is our unconscious thinking about other people. In Implicit Biases and the Unconscious, Mather discusses the basics of social psychology, stereotypes, discrimination, bias correction, and persuasion. Using the most current research, he frames much of the discussion around the examples of liberal biases in the field of psychology, racial prejudice (for example, diversity trainings), and politics. A thought provoking read for psychology novices, field experts, and any individual with an open mind.
