Bias and blame: do moral interactions modulate the expression of implicit bias?
This project will explore whether moral interactions – such as being blamed or being held responsible – are useful tools for regulating implicit bias. Studies have shown that implicit biases – automatic associations made without reflective control – can lead to unintentionally different or unfair treatment of stigmatised individuals. Such biases are common, resistant to deliberate moderation, and significant influences on judgement and action. Psychologists and philosophers have developed and tried strategies to regulate implicit bias, but none has looked into holding individuals responsible. This is what the team will investigate.
