The Social and Behavioral Science of Bias, Prejudice and Discrimination (BPD)

[Francisco A Tomei Torres (Paco Tomei)]

Bias, prejudice, and discrimination in under-studied contexts and communities
Research that investigates forms and sources of bias, prejudice, discrimination, and violence towards and in under-studied populations.

Situating bias, prejudice, and discrimination in context
Research that situates bias, prejudice, discrimination, and violence within their geographic, economic, societal, sociocultural, institutional, or systemic/structural contexts would broaden understanding of how these behaviors evolve and are expressed in different environments.

Development of bias, prejudice, and discrimination
Research on the developmental origins of bias has traditionally relied on early emergent responses (e.g., looking preferences) to make inferences about more advanced socio-cognitive processes that underlie bias (e.g., moral reasoning about social groups, sensitivity to social justice, social stereotyping, the origins of racial prejudice).
