Description
The more we learn about unconscious bias, the more types of biases we discover. Some sources have categorized over 150 types of biases! But in this program, we're only going to cover a few, to get you thinking about how often we rely on unconscious bias, particularly at work. Some types that we'll discuss include confirmation, affinity, perception, conformity, and attribution biases. We'll also go over the halo and horns effects, as well as availability heuristic, functional fixedness, and the contrast effect.
