1. This unit's topic focuses on Racism. As Guerin (2005) states, there are many attempts to understand why racism exists and what we can do to prevent it, including school and counseling interventions. Psychologists from Harvard, the University of Washington, and the University of Virginia created an Implicit Bias quiz to help individuals see if they have any hidden attitudes towards minorities. Please take this quiz (as a guest), obtain your results, and then answer the following questions, only divulging information of your choice.
