Unconscious Bias — Mandatemolefi

Biases are most likely to be activated by stress, time constraints, multitasking and need for closure.

In the past bias was regarded as aberrant, conscious and intentional. Today we understand that bias can be normative, unconscious and largely unintentional.

Unconscious biases are mostly triggered by primary factors such as race, gender and age.
