Abstract

Susan T. Fiske on prejudice & the brain “They are bigots; you are, maybe, a little biased sometimes; I, of course, am accurate.” [how to conjugate an adjective across three persons] Most people think they are less biased than average. Just as we can’t all be better than average, though, we also cannot all be less prejudiced than average. What’s more likely: all of us harbor more biases than we think we do. Social neuroscience suggests that most of us don’t even know the half of it. A Susan T. Fiske, a Fellow of the American Academy since 2005, is professor of psychology at Princeton University. She is the author of “Social Cognition” (1984), the third edition of which is forthcoming, and “Social Beings: Core Motives in Social Psychology” (2004). She is also the coeditor of “The Handbook of Social Psychology” (with Daniel T. Gilbert and Gardner Lindzey, 1998) and “Confronting Racism: The Problem and the Response” (with Jennifer L.
