IAT Assignment Please watch: Implicit Bias Defined Implicit Bias | Concepts Unwrapped
Go to:
https://implicit.harvard.edu/implicit/ PLEASE NOTE: This website may indicate you must be 18 or older to take tests. Don’t worry about that, just sign in. Select four (4) “tests” to take. Record your answers. (you should be able to just copy and paste to a new document)
Once you have recorded your test results, please answer the following:
If you showed an implicit bias towards something/someone in particular, did this surprise you? Can you figure out where this implicit bias may come from? (Family, TV, movies, literature, friends, etc). How does your implicit bias differ from your explicit bias? Are they the same? Different? If your implicit bias was in fact an explicit bias, how might you act towards the particular group/person/race/etc? (Just assuming it is, not that it necessarily is). Why do you think learning about implicit biases is important? How might this help change someone’s behavior? Please put some thought into this. This is an exercise in awareness. Remember: an implicit bias does not mean you are a bad person, a racist person, etc., it just means that somewhere along the way, you have internalized certain ideas. These ideas can actually be about yourself, not always about others! These are implicit-very very different than explicit. What groups are you a part of? For this assignment, review the PowerPoint on what a group is and isn’t. The PowerPoint identifies 11 different types of groups. Select five (5) [out of the 11] of the different types of groups to which you belong. Based on the definitions, answer the following: Describe the group you belong to (i.e., primary group is my family. Ex: My family is a mother, myself, two brothers and my grandfather) For some of you, you may no longer live together in your primary group but you may still be part of that group. You can refer to the past or present. (My primary group as a child is different than my primary group now since I have my own family. My roles have changed too) For each group, use the information below on the characteristics of a group, and illustrate how the groups you selected fulfill these characteristics. What part(s) do you play in the groups? How did you become a part of this group? Did you actively seek it out? What did you think the group would be like and what was/is it actually like? Characteristics of a Group · Common Goals: Groups typically share common goals or objectives. · Interdependence: Members of a group depend on each other to achieve goals. · Interaction: Regular communication and interaction among members. · Structure: Groups often have roles, norms, and hierarchies that guide behavior. · Cohesion: The sense of solidarity or unity among members, which affects group performance. Using the illustrative chart below “12 types of difficult group participants”, and/or the types of difficult participants explained in the video, identify and explain who was a difficult participant and how they behaved that put them in a particular category. How did you feel about this person? How did others feel about this person? Was their behavior effective in accomplishing the group's goals or was it a detriment? How did the group leader discourage their behavior? Think about whether you yourself have been a difficult group participant and if so, who were you on the chart? How did you realilze you were not contributing positively? Did someone say something to you? Could you tell by the group's reactions towards you? Did you realize it on your own? There are no minimum or maximum pages for this assignment, however, you are expected to answer the questions thoroughly. You may set it up any way that works for you. Remember to reference the chart/video on the next page. ↓ ↓ ↓ ↓ ↓ Please watch the video. You may use examples from the video or the chart above https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ITq8aIC3bM8 image1.png
