Let’s look at the interpretation of unconscious bias in the books authored by Tomotaka Moriya and Masako Arakane.
“Unconsciously biased perspectives are referred to as ‘unconscious bias.’” (From “Your Team’s Struggles Are Due to Unconscious Bias”, by Moriya)
The phrase “unconsciously biased perspectives” is used here, and the term “unconsciously” is used in the everyday sense of “without thinking,” “unintentionally,” or “without any particular reason.” This is supported by the checklist items previously quoted. In other words, it refers to things that, upon reflection, make sense.
“Unconscious bias refers to ‘distortions or biases in perspectives and perceptions that one is unaware of.’” (From “Diversity & Inclusion Management” by Arakane)
The phrase “distortions or biases in perspectives and perceptions that one is unaware of” is used here. According to the previously quoted checklist items, the term “unaware” means “not realizing that one’s conscious perspectives and perceptions are distorted or biased”. This also refers to things that, upon reflection, make sense.
In other words, both interpretations arrive at the following conclusion:
Unconscious bias is not about implicit stereotypes or implicit attitudes but about “not realizing that one’s conscious thoughts are biased”.
They use terms like “unconscious” or “unaware”, which are also used to explain “implicit”, but the final meaning differs from the original one.
