Project Implicit assignment
Pick 3 or more tests to take (pick ones that are most meaningful to you)...Do a minimum of 3, if you are interested in doing more, please feel free to do so.
-Bias is natural and often unconscious so you should not feel guilty. The point of this activity is to understand how how mental process and implicit bias impacts our behaviors.
-In your notebook:
1) write down which tests you took,
2)whether or not you agree with the results and give a brief explanation as to why you agree or disagree.
3) how you can use those results to inform your future interactions with others. OR what may you have learned about research in the field of social psychology and implicit bias?
If you aren't comfortable sharing your results you don’t have to, just reflect on what you uncovered. Reflect on your results clearly and thoughtfully.. You will turn this in on Block Day and we will hold a discussion about some of the findings.
If you get done with the assignment early, please take a look at this study that was done at the University of Colorado - Study as it relates to police
