While I was learning about ethics in Research as part of the LRNT 522 Unit 3 PowerPoint Introduction to Research: Critical Reading and Writing (Zornes, n.d.). I have completed the Canada Research Chair Training Module on Unconscious Bias<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Key learning for me was learning about unconscious bias; how it can impact the peer review process and what methods can be integrated for mitigating the influence of unconscious bias.<\/p>\n

(The Canada research Chairs, n.d.) defined unconscious bias as\u00a0“an implicit attitude, stereotype, motivation or assumption that can occur without one’s knowledge or intention. Unconscious bias is a result of our life experiences.”<\/span><\/p>\n

The module also provided different\u00a0types of bias that may affect peer review such as gender bias, institutional bias, age bias, indigenous bias, language bias. It suggested that self-awareness is the first step to prevent bias, the training suggested taking the\u00a0implicit association test<\/a>\u00a0in order to recognize self-bias.<\/span><\/p>\n

Finally, the module suggested steps in order to prevent bias. (1) stereotype replacement<\/span>\u00a0(2) Positive counter stereotype imaging (3) Perspective-taking\u00a0(4)\u00a0Individuation<\/span><\/p>\n
