There are two categories of bias in studies today: conscious or explicit biases and unconscious or implicit biases.  Unconscious bias is usually thought of as social stereotypes that typically focus on others that are not from the same
conscious area.  Here are some quick facts about unconscious bias:

• Unconscious bias is more common than the conscious or explicit bias.
• Unconscious bias may not concur with the conscious bias of an individual.
• Unconscious bias may be triggered by an event or situation.
