The Cambridge Handbook of Implicit Bias and Racism (Cambridge Handbooks in Psychology)

Description

The Cambridge Handbook of Implicit Bias and Racism provides a definitive examination of one of the most significant issues in contemporary psychology and society. This authoritative volume, edited by Jon A. Krosnick, Tobias H. Stark, and Amanda L. Scott, brings together leading researchers and scholars to explore the nature, origins, and consequences of implicit bias and racism.

The handbook addresses key questions about how unconscious prejudices develop, persist, and influence behavior across various social contexts including employment, education, criminal justice, and healthcare. Contributors examine cutting-edge research methodologies, the validity of implicit bias measures, and the relationship between implicit attitudes and explicit behavior.

Through rigorous scholarship, the book investigates both individual differences in implicit bias and structural manifestations of racism within institutions. It offers insights into intervention strategies and policy implications, making it essential reading for psychologists, social scientists, educators, and policymakers committed to understanding and addressing bias and discrimination.
