Bias


https://freeglobaluniversity.blogspot.com/search/label/Cognition

Strategies for Overcoming Bias
  • Acknowledge Subconscious Bias: Accept that everyone has biases. Recognizing this is the first step toward being open to new perspectives and changing, rather than defending, one's views.
  • Increase Exposure and Interaction: Actively engage with people from different backgrounds and perspectives to challenge stereotypes and broaden understanding.
  • Practice "Pause" Techniques (HALT): Avoid making critical decisions when you are Hungry, Angry, Lonely, or Tired. Taking a break can prevent snap judgments driven by bias.
  • Use the "Flip it to Test it" Method: If you are unsure if your judgment is biased, swap the person in question with someone of a different gender, race, or background to see if your decision changes.
  • Seek Diverse Perspectives: Actively ask for opinions from people who differ from you to combat confirmation bias and broaden your viewpoint.
  • Implement Structured Decision Making: Create clear, standardized, and objective criteria for hiring, promotions, and daily tasks to minimize subjective, emotional, or "gut-feeling" decisions.
  • Reflect on Your Background: Consider how your personal experiences and upbringing have shaped your current opinions and reactions to situations.
  • Speak Out: If you witness bias, such as someone being talked over in a meeting, take action to ensure all voices are heard.
Specific Contextual Tips
  • In the Workplace: Establish clear, objective guidelines for meetings to encourage participation and reduce the impact of dominant voices.
  • In Daily Life: Practice mindfulness to become more aware of your own sensations and emotional state, which helps in identifying when you might be reacting out of bias.
  • In Leadership: Focus on the process of decisions rather than just the outcomes to avoid rewarding lucky, but poorly reasoned, decisions (outcome bias).
By consistently challenging your own thinking, you can create a more inclusive, fair environment and make better decisions.
