Wondering what the difference is between bias and prejudice? While both terms are often used interchangeably, they possess slightly different meanings. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This article explores the differences between bias and prejudice, their types, and the disadvantages associated with them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bias refers to the act of unfairly defending or opposing a particular person or object by allowing personal ideas to distort your judgment.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n You can also classify it as the inability to be objective or an inclination to favor one thing or person over another.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When you unfairly support or oppose a certain person or subject due to allowing your personal ideas to cloud your judgment, you are acting with bias.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Biased behavior entails having a stronger preference for or dislikes for a person or object over another, which results in an unfair treatment of that person or thing.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n An individual who is biased will act unfairly because they favor one group of individuals over another.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For example, you are a manager at a company and have been asked by the executive to assign a profitable task with benefits to any lower staff of your choosing. One of the lower staff, John, has experience in the past completing similar tasks with a high success rate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n However, because you\u2019ve had an argument with John in the past or for some reason do not like him, you give the task to Tom who has no experience, simply because you like him. <\/p>\n\n\n\n An impression or attitude about someone that is solely based on that person being a member of a specific group<\/strong> is known as prejudice. It can also be referred to as an opinion, notion, or belief about something that is biased. <\/p>\n\n\nWhat does it mean to be biased? <\/h3>\n\n\n\n
