Implicit and Explicit Biases with Dr. Jordan Axt
from Brain Buzz Hosted by Kyle Gooderham
In Episode 41 we are joined by Dr. Jordan Axt, director of the McGill Intergroup Cognition Lab to talk about the application of social cognitive processes in an intergroup context. Jordan shares with us how our thoughts, feelings, and behaviours are shaped by the distinction between “us” and “them,” and how these are manifest implicitly and explicitly. What are implicit and explicit biases and how do they differ? How do scientists measure implicit and explicit bias? What does the implicit and explicit bias look like outside of the laboratory and how are physically attractive individuals disproportionally benefited by bias?
