Updated:

11/12/24

Unconscious bias refers to the automatic, subtle, and often unintentional judgments or attitudes that people hold about others based on characteristics such as race, gender, age, or other personal traits. These biases can influence decisions in hiring, promotions, performance evaluations, and interpersonal interactions without the individual being aware of them. Unconscious bias can lead to unfair treatment, exclusion, and missed opportunities, even if an individual believes they are acting objectively.
