Assignment Benchmarks - Measuring Biases, Stereotypes, and Heuristics

Details: Mitigating biases, stereotypes, and heuristics is a topic of much research including the creation of methods to measure the extent of these behaviors. In this assignment, you will evaluate the methods used to measure biases, stereotypes, and heuristics.

Directions: Write a paper of 1,000-1,250 words in which you evaluate the methods used to measure biases, stereotypes, and heuristics. Include the following in your paper:

1. An evaluative summary of the properties of psychometrically sound measures. (Benchmarks C 3.3: Evaluate and identify properties of psychometrically sound measures.)

2. An evaluation of the methods used to measure biases, stereotypes, and heuristics. Do these methods conform to psychometrically sound measurement principles? Why or why not?
