Article Abstract

Educational and training programs designed to reduce racial bias often focus on increasing people's awareness of psychological sources of their biases. However, when people learn about their biases, they often respond defensively, which can undermine the effectiveness of antibias interventions and the success of prejudice regulation. Using process (Quad) modeling, we provide one of the first investigations of the relationships between (a) controlled and automatic cognitive processes that underpin performance on the Implicit Association Test and (b) defensive reactions to unflattering implicit racial bias feedback. In two correlational samples (one preregistered; = 8,000) and one experiment in which the provision of bias feedback was manipulated ( = 547), we find racially biased associations and some control over these associations among White people. Nonetheless, more defensiveness to bias feedback consistently predicted weaker ability to control biased associations. We also find correlational evidence that lower levels of biased associations predict more defensiveness, but did not replicate this observation in the experimental study. These results are critical for theories of implicit attitudes, models of prejudice regulation, and strategies for antibias interventions.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly applied in nutrition science to support clinical decision-making, prevent diet-related diseases such as obesity and type 2 diabetes, and improve nutrition care in both preventive and therapeutic settings. By analyzing diverse datasets, AI systems can support highly individualized nutritional guidance. We focus on machine learning applications and image recognition tools for dietary assessment and meal planning, highlighting their potential to enhance patient engagement and adherence through mobile apps and real-time feedback.

Students from the Pat Capps Covey College of Allied Health Professions at the University of South Alabama in the Audiology, Physician Assistant Studies, and Speech-Language Pathology graduate programs participated in an experiential learning program to engage their overall understanding of three aspects related to cultural awareness: social determinants of health, social justice, and implicit bias. First-year students (n=95) were randomly assigned into interprofessional teams and a pre-test was given prior to the start of the project. A didactic portion followed the pretest and then students conducted interviews with individuals from minoritized backgrounds regarding their real-life experiences with the healthcare system and healthcare practitioners.
