Tips for reducing personal bias
- Don’t try to ignore difference. Instead, it’s important to recognize difference and work to decrease your stereotypical responses.
- Learn your history. A better understanding of systemic causes of racism, for example, can motivate people to revise their biased views.
- Work on reducing your stress levels when you’re interacting with people who are different from you, because negative encounters can promote more bias and less self-reflection.
- Increase your sense of common humanity by purposefully engaging with people of different backgrounds.
- Recognize how undoing bias has meaning for you.
