Do We Really Know What We See? The Role of Cognitive Bias in How We View Race in Higher Education
Park, Julie J.
Change: The Magazine of Higher Learning, v52 n2 p46-49 2020
Research on cognitive bias explains how our brains are prone to stumble, overlooking key points of data. This article discusses how this phenomenon can help us understand why we often stumble in assessing the state of campus race relations, overlooking ways that White students self-segregate. In contrast, students of color have high rates of interracial friendship and interaction, but this trend is often ignored, in part due to cognitive bias.
