Kelli, M. (2024). Implicit Bias: Individuals’ Reactions to Unveiling Bias through the Race IAT.

• Research project uncovering college students racial implicit bias through the Harvard RACE IAT and documenting their reactions to their test result.
• I hypothesized students would respond with surprise, confusion, or disagreement concerning their racial bias test results.
• The results showed fifty-six percent of students disagreed or strongly disagreed with their bias results, with twenty-seven percent saying the Harvard test itself was flawed.
• Some students reported that their biases were learned from the lack of diversity in their childhood environments.
• Some reported they are prone to automatically view their race as "good," but not necessarily other races as “good.”
• My goal was to foster productive discussion on the taboo topic of racial bias.
