conscious thinking and feeling? How do they shape social
judgment, decision, and behavior? In this talk, Professor
Lane will present demonstrations and data showing how mental
processes can operate without intention or awareness. <span
style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>Such demonstrations and
research raise questions about what it means to be
"nonprejudiced" - although a person can genuinely hold no
explicit (more conscious) animosity based on race or
ethnicity, he or she may hold implicit (less conscious) biases
that are discrepant from these self-reported beliefs. Lane
will explore the pervasiveness of such biases and the ways
that they can influence behavior in unintended and
unrecognized ways, thus giving rise to group-level
disparities. The talk will conclude with a discussion of
empirically-based means of reducing such biases. </span><span
