Requests:  0 Summary:  Experiments have shown that our brains categorize people by race in less than one-tenth of a second, about 50 milliseconds before determining sex. This means that we are labelling people by race and associating certain characteristics to them without even hearing them speak or getting to know them. This subtle cognitive process starts in the amygdala, the area of the brain associated with strong emotions. Does this mean that unconscious biases are hardwired into our brains as an evolutionary response, or do they emerge from assimilating information that we see around us? In Sway, author Pragya Agarwal uncovers the science behind our unintentional' biases. Using real world stories underpinned by scientific theories and research, this book unravels the way our unconscious biases are affecting the way we communicate, make decisions and perceive the world. A wide range of implicit biases are covered, including age-ism, sexism and aversive racism, and by using research and theories from a wide range of disciplines, including social science, psychology, biology and neuroscience, readers learn how these biases manifest and whether there is anything we can do about them. This book encourages readers to think, understand and evaluate their own biases in a scientific and non-judgmental way.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Aina Haina Public Library Adult Nonfiction 303.385 Ag Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Social Science & Philosophy 303.385 Ag Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 303.385 Agarwal Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library Adult Nonfiction 303.385 Ag Checked In Add Copy to MyList Waianae Public Library Adult Nonfiction 303.385 Ag Checked In Add Copy to MyList Waikiki-Kapahulu Public Library Adult Nonfiction 303.385 Ag Checked In Add Copy to MyList Waipahu Public Library Adult Nonfiction 303.385 Ag Checked In Add Copy to MyList
