BIAS: Stereotypes and Prejudice

We are born tabula rosa and develop our knowledge and attitudes from personal experiences. Anything we learn can be forgotten or replaced if we are motivated to change.

Prejudice and Stereotypes are common but we are often unaware of them. Neurobiological studies show each is learned differently and different areas of the brain are involved for each. We can expect interverntions to be different for each.

All Blogs

You can find all blog posts here. The value of a blog is that it can be short. It doesn't give excessive details, data analyses, or references so you don't get lost in detail. On the other hand, without academic moorings, it might sound too folksy. I hope I strike the right balance with these blogs.

Interventions

Mental Health providers use a basic toolkit to deal with "difficult people." (1) Mindfulness Meditation for ourselves (to improve interpersonal effectiveness, emotion regulation and distress tolerance). This is a version of DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy) for patients, (2) Trust Building (also called a working alliance or the Trust Equation) to help with meaningful conversations, and (3) Motivational Interviewing to learn what “change talk” is. The information can be applied to many aspects of our lives in general.

Hardiness - Wisdom

For psychiatry and psychology, hardy people share traits called wisdom. Wisdom can be learned from experience, but only if mindful of what we do.

Homeostasis is the ability to maintain internal stability despite changing external conditions. If you cannot adjust, you are prone to disease or organ failure. Hardiness is the ability to tolerate a large range of conditions. Learning traits of wisdom are the best predictors of psychiatric hardiness. This allows you to know your purpose, be pragmatic, keep an open mind, and value flexibility.
