Reducing Unconscious Bias as an Ethical Mandate for Mediators

Introduction: Jeffrey Stern, Esq. Discussion Session 2: David Hoffman, Esq.
Mediators, arbitrators, and lawyers have a duty to be unbiased, and yet they—like others in society—are influenced by unconscious biases. Social psychologists have explored the origins of these biases and, in recent years, developed experimental techniques for reducing unconscious bias. This
discussion with explore the social psychology literature regarding such techniques and identify seven main categories of promising interventions: awareness, motivation, individuation, perspective-taking, contact, stereotype replacement, and mindfulness.  Examples of several real-world applications of these techniques to address both individual and systemic biases will be discussed and will conclude with a description of some unanswered questions regarding bias reduction strategies.
