Abstract

Can people learn about implicit bias through an online course? We developed a brief (∼30 min) online educational program called Understanding Implicit Bias (UIB) consisting of four modules: (a) what is implicit bias? (b) the Implicit Association Test, (c) implicit bias and behavior, and (d) what can you do? In Experiment 1, we randomly assigned 6,729 college students across three separate samples to complete dependent measures before (control group) or after (intervention group) the UIB program. In Experiment 2, we randomly assigned 389 college students to complete the UIB program (intervention group) or two TED talks (control group) before dependent measures. Compared to control groups, the intervention groups had significantly higher objective knowledge about bias (ds = 0.39, 1.49) and subjective knowledge about bias (ds = 1.43, 2.61), awareness of bias (ds = 0.10, 0.54), and behavioral intentions to reduce bias (ds = 0.19, 0.84). These differences were again observed at a 2-week follow-up. These results suggest that brief online education about bias can affect knowledge and awareness of bias, as well as intentions to change behavior.

了解隐性偏见（UIB）：在线偏见教育项目的实验评估。

人们可以通过在线课程了解内隐偏见吗？我们开发了一个名为 "理解内隐偏见"（Understanding Implicit Bias，UIB）的简短（∼30 分钟）在线教育课程，由四个模块组成：（a）什么是内隐偏见？(b) 内隐关联测试；(c) 内隐偏见与行为；(d) 你能做些什么？在实验 1 中，我们在三个独立样本中随机分配了 6729 名大学生，让他们在 UIB 项目之前（对照组）或之后（干预组）完成依赖性测量。在实验 2 中，我们随机分配了 389 名大学生，让他们在依赖性测量前完成 UIB 计划（干预组）或两次 TED 演讲（对照组）。与对照组相比，干预组的客观偏见知识（ds = 0.39，1.49）、主观偏见知识（ds = 1.43，2.61）、偏见意识（ds = 0.10，0.54）和减少偏见的行为意向（ds = 0.19，0.84）都明显高于对照组。这些差异在两周的随访中再次出现。这些结果表明，有关偏见的简短在线教育可以影响对偏见的了解和认识，以及改变行为的意愿。(PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2023 APA, 版权所有）。

期刊介绍： The mission of the Journal of Experimental Psychology: Applied® is to publish original empirical investigations in experimental psychology that bridge practically oriented problems and psychological theory. The journal also publishes research aimed at developing and testing of models of cognitive processing or behavior in applied situations, including laboratory and field settings. Occasionally, review articles are considered for publication if they contribute significantly to important topics within applied experimental psychology. Areas of interest include applications of perception, attention, memory, decision making, reasoning, information processing, problem solving, learning, and skill acquisition.
