Answer 29

- When the same, or similar, anecdotes are repeatedly referenced, with little evidence that this is a common issue. - A pattern where the same research methods are continuously being used with the same group of participants. - When broad assumptions are being made or declared a pattern, without quantitative evidence. - Always receiving one-directional feedback, such as overly positive or overly negative. - If external or environmental factors are disregarded when faced with a problem, and focus is solely placed on an individual Only paying attention to data or anecdotes which confirm opinions, rather than seeing the whole picture

Question 30

Implicit Association Test (IAT)

Answer 30

Created by researchers at Harvard University. In this test you will explore one way of thinking about biases that can help you be more inclusive as you develop your skills in design-thinking. The IAT uses data collected by each individual who takes the test to try to understand bias from a larger societal view. It should be used in conjunction with other strategies to help you build a foundation for understanding and recognizing bias.
