Implicit Bias and Implications for U.S. Marine Corps Performance Evaluations and Promotion Selection Boards
Abstract
In the last two decades, research surrounding implicit bias has expanded drastically, informing current understanding about the effects of implicit bias in policing, the courts, healthcare, education, and human resources. Viable techniques to prevent its effects in society are relevant to how the Marine Corps evaluates its Marines. With the knowledge of how implicit bias can cause errors in human cognition, the Marine Corps can take steps to reduce bias in performance evaluations, increasing their accuracy, and prevent implicit bias from influencing evaluations made by promotion selection boards.
