IMPLICIT BIAS 5

Intervention concept 3:
Gather around 20 persons who haven’t seen each other before and practice a game called ‘WHO YOU THINK IS THE BEST…’ .And all participants will be divided into two groups A and B.

Basically one person would be named to set a theme such as painting, math or yoga etc. For example, Group A needs to select 3 persons from group B who they think look like an artist most . Then the 6 participants need to show their drawing or painting skills. And selectors need to speak reasons and explain why.

This game is totally based on people’s first impression and can demonstrate implicit bias in a very apparent way. Also, after the game, I will offer everyone a sheet to write if they have changed assumption of someone during process of the game. As we mentioned, working closely is helpful to breaking down bias between us

Disadvantages:

It is difficult to find 20 people gathering under the pandemic. And there will only be asian participants which means the data has limitation.
