Implicit bias refers to attitudes or stereotypes that affect our understanding, actions, and decisions in an unconscious manner. These biases are formed through our socialization and experiences, and can influence our perceptions and behaviors towards individuals or groups without our conscious awareness. Research in this area seeks to understand the prevalence and impact of these biases in various aspects of society, such as education, employment, healthcare, and criminal justice, and to develop strategies to mitigate their effects. The study of implicit bias is an important aspect of addressing issues related to discrimination and inequality.
