OBJECTIVES:

Define biases and prejudices.

Evaluate biases from prejudices to the
given situations or scenarios.
Determine the different types of biases
and prejudices
Make realization about the effects of bias
and prejudice in real life situations.
 She's my bias

What is Bias?
Bias- a tendency to favor one person, group,
thing or point of view over another often
in an unfair way.
BIAS TOWARD

When the preposition toward use in situation or

scenarios this leans favorably toward something or
thinking positively of it.
EXAMPLES:
Choosing to only eat
food that
consider healthy.

Staying away from someone

who has knowingly caused
harm.
BIAS AGAINST

Bias against is leaning negatively against something or

thinking poorly of it when used with the preposition
AGAINST.
 EXAMPLE

A company is only hiring men employee

as it believes that men are better
employee than women.
 Bias can exist on a spectrum of political ideology,
religious views, financial influence, misinformation, and
more.
 The source may be biased:

Heavily opinionated or one-sided

Relies on unsupported or unsubstantiated claims
Presents highly selected facts that lean to a certain
outcome
Pretends to present facts, but offers only opinion
Uses extreme or inappropriate language
Tries to persuade you to think a certain way with
no regard for factual evidence
The author is unidentifiable, lacks expertise, or writes
on unrelated topics

Is entertainment-based or a form of
parody or satire
Tries to sell you something in disguise
1. The newly opened hotel in our town
accomodates only rich people.
2.
 Bias can be:

1. Conscious or Explicit Bias - When we are

consciously biased, we are doing it intentionally. We
know we are being biased towards a particular person
or group.
Bias can be:

2. Unconscious or Implicit Bias - This type of bias is

carried out unconsciously. So you could be doing
something without realizing you were doing it.
Types of Unconscious Bias
AFFINITY BIAS

Affinity bias, also referred to as similarity bias, is

the unconscious human tendency to gravitate toward
other people with similar backgrounds, interests, and
beliefs.
 EXAMPLE
Job interview process: During the hiring process, a recruiter
or hiring manager may feel like a job candidate is a good fit
for the team if they have a similar background, shared
interests, or attended the same college as them. This bias can
prevent companies from building diverse teams.
 ATTRIBUTION BIAS
This happens when we attribute certain notions to a
person because of our prior interactions with and
observations of another person of the same gender,
race,
or sexual orientation, etc.
EXAMPLE

Situation – You’re driving along the

motorway and another car cuts in
front of you in an erratic, haphazard
way.
Biased interpretation – You might draw some conclusions
about the other driver’s character based on their poor
driving. Perhaps you think they’re rude, arrogant, or
aggressive.

Reality – What you don’t know, however, is that the driver

is speeding to the A&E department following a serious
accident. They’re driving badly because they’re injured.
 AGEISM

We make assumptions and commit bias based

on a person’s age. While age is not a measure
of someone’s intelligence or maturity, we
unconsciously judge them
based on this.
EXAMPLES:

1. Refusing to hire people over or under a certain

age.

2. Asking for someone's age at a job interview when it is

not relevant to the work.
 CONFIRMATION BIAS

This inclination happens when we want something or someone

to confirm our bias towards them.
 EXAMPLE

During presidential elections, people tend to seek

information that paints the candidate they support in a
positive light, while dismissing any information that
paints them in a negative light.
 CONFORMITY BIAS

This is also known as peer pressure. We want to conform to the

people or things around us even though they contradict our
personal beliefs and principles.
 EXAMPLE

You were at a restaurant with your

friends and you wanted to have
dessert, but they all objected. As a
result, you declined as well.
 THE HALO
EFFECT
This happens when we
unconsciously put someone on a
pedestal just because there’s
something about them we find
impressive.
 EXAMPLE

You might see a physically

beautiful person and assume they
are generous, smart, or
trustworthy.
 THE HORN
EFFECT
The opposite of the Halo Effect. We
unconsciously dislike everything about
someone because they have some negative
characteristics we don’t like.
 EXAMPLE

If one is frequently late for work (even though

there may be important extenuating
circumstances known to the company), the word
around the office is that (s)he is “not committed”
or even “negligent” regarding work tasks.
CONTRAST BIAS

You compare one or several things you come in

contact with to another similar thing, which can
happen simultaneously or consecutively.
 EXAMPL
E
If you’re hiring from a pool of 20 people, contrast bias can
lead you to focus on just two candidates and see each one in
contrast to the other. If the first candidate happens to be
particularly good, contrast bias can make the second
candidate appear to be lacking, even if he’s actually better
than the rest of the candidates.
 GENDER
BIAS
This common Gender bias happens when one gender
is favored over another because of stereotypes or
based on your previous experience.
 EXAMPLE

During an interview the hiring panel favors male

candidates over female candidates even though they have
similar skills and job experience.
 NAME BIAS

Making an unconscious judgment

based on a person’s name, especially
the ones that are of foreign origins.
 EXAMPLE

Resumes with names that are traditionally

Black, Latinx, or Asian often get less
attention from recruiters and hiring
managers
 BEAUTY
BIAS

Another common bias where we

unconsciously assume attractive people are
more competent, qualified, and successful.
 EXAMPLE

A hiring manager who is

more inclined to hire
candidates they think are
good-looking.
WHAT IS PREJUDICE?
PREJUDICE
• is an unfavorable opinion or feeling formed
beforehand without knowledge, thought or
reason. It simple means pre-judge others.
