It requires no hatred or fear
to assign meaning to (or
judge) the things that we
see, we do it automatically.
The problem is that we
forget, do not realize, or
deny that this even
happens.

Bias is…
A tendency or
inclination
that results in
judgment
without
question.
• mental shortcut
• automatic association
![Page 18: Got Bias? (Oregon D&I Conference) joe gerstandt](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022021919/587a06381a28ab01268b59db/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
automatic associations without:
• awareness
• intention
• control
These often conflict with our
conscious attitudes,
behaviors, and intentions.
What is Unconscious Bias?

System

Thinking
“Fast
Brain”
automatic, incredibly fast, with
little or no effort and no sense
of voluntary control:
• detect that one object is more
distant than another
• orient to the source of a sound
• complete the phrase “bread
and…”
• detect hostility in a voice
• answer 2+2=?
• drive a car on an empty road
• automatic responses
Fast. Efficient.
Not terribly accurate.

• fill out a tax form
• answer 97+23+19=?
• park in a narrow space
• intentional responses
Slow. Inefficient. Very accurate.

social network analysis
From time to time people
discuss important matters with
other people. Looking back over
the past six months, who are the
people with whom you
discussed matters important to
you?
![Page 47: Got Bias? (Oregon D&I Conference) joe gerstandt](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022021919/587a06381a28ab01268b59db/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
social network analysis
Consider the people you
communicate with in order to get
your work done. Of all the
people you have communicated
with during the last six months,
who has been the most
important for getting your work
done?

social network analysis
Consider an important project or
initiative that you are involved in.
Consider the people who would
be influential for getting it
approved or obtaining the
resources you need. Who would
you talk to, to get the support
you need?

social network analysis
Who do you socialize with?
(spending time with people after
work hours, visiting one another
at home, going to social events,
out for meals and so on) Over
the last 6 months, who are the
main people with whom you
have socialized informally?

Using data from actual auditions for 8
orchestras over the period when
screens were introduced, auditions with
screens substantially increased the
probability that women were advanced
(within the orchestra) and that women
were hired. These results parallel those
found in many studies of the impact of
blind review of journal article
submissions.Caffrey, M. (1997, May 12). Blind auditions help women. Princeton Weekly
Bulletin. Based on Goldin, C & Rouse, C. (2000). Orchestrating impartiality:

Review, 90, 715–741.
