| Description | : | Biased innovation discrimination.
"When making complex decisions, legitimate factors sometimes mask choices influenced by prejudice -so bias is hard to detect. Recent research untangled some of these complex scenarios revealing that people are willing to sacrifice quite a lot to fulfill their subconscious biases... Teasing out which variables affected people’s choices, the researchers found that participants were willing to sacrifice 12 IQ points in a trivia partner to have one who was thin. In a similar experiment, the group found that when comparing successive pairs of job offers, study subjects were willing to take a 22 percent salary cut to have a male boss... “There’s a price to pay for biases that we may not even be aware of,” says lead author Eugene Caruso of the University of Chicago. “If you take a lower salary in order to have a male boss or you choose a partner who has a lower IQ but is thin, the person you’re discriminating against is yourself.”, http://www.sciam.com/article.cfm?id=decision-making-suffers GOTO StubbornlyResistant GOTO PredictablyIrrational GOTO DiversityDiscrimination |
