GIA Blog: Alexis McGill Johnson on Culture, Bias, and Anxiety
Submitted by Abigail on May 12, 2011
For her latest post to GIA's 2011 Talk Back blog, Alexis McGill Johnson addresses anxiety as an outcome of personal racial and cultural bias. She provides a link to web-based set of Implicit Association Tests (IATs) designed to ascertain levels of racial, age, and other bias. I took the race-related test and not only was I intrigued by the results, I had to consider the potential impossibility of a truly bias-free test. I encourage you to take ten minutes to complete this or another IAT.
