BLET Ethical Problem-Solving Practice Test

Implicit bias can include ______ or profiling.

Prejudice Discrimination Stereotyping Microaggressions

Correct Answer:

Stereotyping

Explanation:

Implicit bias involves unconscious attitudes and quick judgments about groups. Stereotyping is the tendency to assign a whole set of characteristics to a group, a mental shortcut that often underpins those automatic judgments. When these stereotypes are applied to a person in a real situation, you get profiling. So, stereotyping is the best fit for completing the idea, since profiling arises from applying generalized beliefs about a group to an individual. Prejudice refers to negative feelings toward a group, discrimination to acting on bias, and microaggressions are subtle, everyday slights—related effects, but not the specific cognitive pairing with profiling.
