Surely not all experimental studies of bias need abandoning?
Fiona A WhitePublished in: The Behavioral and brain sciences (2022)
Cesario misrepresents experimental social psychology. The discipline encompasses significantly more than implicit bias research, including controlled decision making and real-world behavioral observations. Paradoxically, while critiquing popular implicit bias tasks, Cesario also describes task refinements that have significantly advanced their external validity and our contextual understanding of bias. Thus rather than abandonment, a call for "continued improvement" is a far more sensible proposition.
