What do your individual Race IAT results reveal?Were you surprised by your results?Can you think of any reasons that you received these results? Explain.
For this assignment, you will take and reflect on ONE Implicit Association Test (IAT). IATs use a series of computer exercises to assess subconscious biases based on race, weight, gender, ethnicity, etc. EVERYONE has some sort of subconscious bias. The goal of this assignment is to encourage self-reflection and awareness related to the topics we discuss in class. You will NEVER be judged or graded based on the type of results you receive. As I stated above, EVERYONE has biases(including your instructor!)Having them does not make you a “bad” person or “abnormal” in any way.
