Implicit bias is a really hard topic because in and of
0:05
S… Speaker 1 (1779800292839)
the name implicit bias it means we don't even know we have it
0:09
S… Speaker 1 (1779800292839)
most of the time.
0:10
S… Speaker 1 (1779800292839)
Explicit bias is things that we know we have and we express it and
0:14
S… Speaker 1 (1779800292839)
we can say oh my god I just said that I can't believe I said that.
0:17
S… Speaker 1 (1779800292839)
Implicit
0:19
S… Speaker 1 (1779800292839)
affects how we operate,
0:20
S… Speaker 1 (1779800292839)
how we think,
0:21
S… Speaker 1 (1779800292839)
how we feel about situations.
0:23
S… Speaker 1 (1779800292839)
And so we're not as aware of that.
0:25
S… Speaker 1 (1779800292839)
And so part of it is really becoming aware and understanding
0:29
S… Speaker 1 (1779800292839)
why am I doing what I'm doing?
0:32
S… Speaker 1 (1779800292839)
Because there's always a reason for why we do what we do.
0:34
S… Speaker 1 (1779800292839)
And we just have to understand what that is,
0:36
S… Speaker 1 (1779800292839)
is my sense of wanting to keep people in separate
0:40
S… Speaker 1 (1779800292839)
sessions.
0:41
S… Speaker 1 (1779800292839)
a feeling because I want to avoid conflict or is my feeling for putting people in separate sessions
0:46
S… Speaker 1 (1779800292839)
because strategically at this moment it makes sense to do that.
0:50
S… Speaker 1 (1779800292839)
Am I putting people in joint sessions because it's my
0:54
S… Speaker 1 (1779800292839)
implicit need to see conflict be constructive and have
0:58
S… Speaker 1 (1779800292839)
people relate to each other and my bias is towards putting people where
1:02
S… Speaker 1 (1779800292839)
they can express themselves openly.
1:05
S… Speaker 1 (1779800292839)
but it's my bias or is it because strategically
1:09
S… Speaker 1 (1779800292839)
at that point in mediation it makes sense to put those two people together.
1:13
S… Speaker 1 (1779800292839)
So we have biases that affect everything that we do and it's going to affect the
1:17
S… Speaker 1 (1779800292839)
behavior that we exhibit in mediation.
1:19
S… Speaker 1 (1779800292839)
It affects whether,
1:21
S… Speaker 2 (1779800292839)
for me,
1:22
S… Speaker 1 (1779800292839)
I can listen to people shouting and be totally comfortable.
1:25
S… Speaker 1 (1779800292839)
It doesn't bother me.
1:26
S… Speaker 1 (1779800292839)
And if they're comfortable doing it,
1:28
S… Speaker 1 (1779800292839)
I did a mediation where people were pounding on the table all the time and there were some words going across
1:32
S… Speaker 1 (1779800292839)
the table that maybe my mother wouldn't have appreciated,
1:35
S… Speaker 1 (1779800292839)
but I was okay with that.
1:36
S… Speaker 2 (1779800292839)
And at the end,
1:37
S… Speaker 1 (1779800292839)
they said, this was fantastic.
1:39
S… Speaker 1 (1779800292839)
Thank you so much.
1:39
S… Speaker 1 (1779800292839)
It was a safe place and we got what we needed done.
1:41
S… Speaker 1 (1779800292839)
But if my bias was,
1:43
S… Speaker 1 (1779800292839)
oh, I don't like that.
1:44
S… Speaker 1 (1779800292839)
That's rude.
1:44
S… Speaker 1 (1779800292839)
And that makes me uncomfortable.
1:45
S… Speaker 1 (1779800292839)
Then I would have missed an opportunity to have them be able to do that.
1:50
S… Speaker 1 (1779800292839)
So I think there's so many process decisions that we make that
1:54
S… Speaker 1 (1779800292839)
are ruled by our own comfort level and our own biases that we're not aware of that
1:58
S… Speaker 1 (1779800292839)
we have to really work with ourselves.
