UNCA Ramsey Library Video Production has just released, ‘Implicit Bias: The Psychology of Ordinary Prejudice in Everyday Lives.’ In it Keith Payne, professor of psychology & neuroscience at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill describes how inequality shapes the human mind, asking questions such as “Why do people sometimes act in prejudiced ways toward low status groups even when they intend to be fair?” He uses experimental psychology to study the reasons behind these types of social behaviors.
The video is a recording of Dr. Payne’s visit to UNCA’s Sherrill Center on February 23, 2017 which was sponsored by UNC Asheville’s student Psychology Club and Psi Chi, in collaboration with the university’s Department of Education, Office of Teacher Recruitment and Retention, and Center for Diversity Education.
