Good Evening Class!

This will examine the limited focus of psychology on individual-level racial and bigoted bias and proposes a research framework that incorporates systemic factors. The framework identifies five key factors—power disparities, cultural narratives, segregated communities, shared stereotypes, and nonverbal messages—that influence racial and bigoted biases across different levels. The research explores the relationship between individual biases and societal systems, honing in on how power dynamics, cultural narratives, segregation, stereotypes, and nonverbal signals contribute to the formation and reinforcement of racial and bigoted biases. I will also be acknowledging the unique historical context of the USA and recognizes similar patterns of bias in other cultural contexts. Effective interventions should consider systemic factors and cultural contexts, and we will discuss the implications for reducing racial and bigoted biases and focusing on areas for future research. This will allow us to understand the interconnectedness of individual biases and the systemic factors that may be present and how it is crucial in promoting a more inclusive society.
