Blindspot: Hidden Biases of Good People - Book Review.
Subtitle: Hidden Biases of Good People Recommended to me by: Patricia Nan Anderson In clear, accessible language, this book debunks the notion that good people are free of biases. Starting with optical illusions and moving on to creating categories, the authors show that our brains automatically make assumptions about what we perceive based on past input.
In the book Blindspot, the authors reveal hidden biases based on their experience with the Implicit Association Test.Project Implicit is graciously hosting electronic versions of Blindspot’s IATs.These should work properly on any desktop computer and on several touch-screen devices including iPads, Android tablets, Nook tablets, and the Kindle Fire.

Blindspot: Hidden Biases of Good People Mahzarin R. Banaji, et.al., Delacorte Press, 2013-02-12. Submitted by Denis Sternberg. ISBN: 9780553804645 Language:English.
The Subconscious Bias Even though our conscious bias may be the one we try to control and show, the subconscious bias is the underlying cause of many stereotypes and generalizations. Blindspot: Hidden Biases of Good People touches on many themes related to bias, including the automatic and reflective sides of the mind, and what roles they play in society.
This web site presents a method that demonstrates the conscious-unconscious divergences much more convincingly than has been possible with previous methods. This new method is called the Implicit Association Test, or IAT for short. In addition, this site contains various related information.
Blindspot is the authors metaphor for the portion of the mind that houses hidden biases. Writing with simplicity and verve, Banaji and Greenwald question the extent to which our perceptions of social groups without our awareness or conscious control shape our likes and dislikes and our judgments about people s character, abilities, and potential.
