2 Types of Bias: Conscious and Unconscious

If your first thought is to think “Wait – I don’t have any biases,” it’s important to understand that everyone has biases. There are two kinds of bias - conscious and unconscious – and both are barriers to an inclusive work environment.

  • Unconscious/Implicit bias - Stereotypes or beliefs about certain groups that a person isn’t aware he or she has, but that impact the individual’s perceptions, expectations, and/or reactions to people in those groups
  • Conscious/Explicit bias -Attitudes or beliefs toward certain groups that a person knows he or she has.

Everyone has an unconscious bias. Find out how and why unconscious bias forms, discover how to recognize unconscious biases so you become conscious of them. Once a person’s unconscious biases become conscious ones, then it becomes possible to prevent them from controlling attitudes and behaviors. That’s the key t overcoming the impact of unconscious bias.
