A meta-analysis reveals there is little evidence that implicit bias can be changed long term. There is even less evidence to suggest changes can lead to behavioral changes.
Using a combination of movie clips and neuroimaging, researchers find people have positive biases to those they feel are more like them, even if they are unable to see the person's face.
Researchers say our neural circuits could be responsible for why we find comfort in those who are similar to us and why we are often uneasy with those who might differ from us.
