Mahzarin Banaji discusses the Implicit Association Test

In the Harvard lab of Mahzarin Banaji, Alan takes a test designed to ferret out our unconscious prejudices. Called the Implicit Association Test (and available on the web), it measures the strength of associations we make without being aware of them between such things as men and career as compared with women and career. Alan, despite many years of working in feminist causes, still harbors a slight prejudice against associating women with a career. But the real surprise is that Mahzarin herself, despite a very successful career as a Harvard professor, shows a strong implicit bias against women in the workplace.
