Patricia Devine

Patricia Devine is a psychologist known for her research on how stereotypes and biases form, persist, and can be changed. She studies how people often hold unconscious (implicit) biases that influence their thoughts and actions without them realizing. Her work explores ways to reduce these biases through conscious efforts and interventions, promoting fairness and understanding. By understanding the psychology behind biases, Devine aims to help individuals and society move toward more equitable interactions and reduce prejudice.
