In contrast to the considerable despair and pessimism around DEI efforts, evidence-based approaches, such as the bias habit-breaking training, highlight considerable reasons for hope and optimism. Behavioral and organizational sciences can help individuals and institutions make meaningful, long-lasting progress on DEI outcomes. This poster will present an overview of 16+ years of research demonstrating how the bias habit-breaking training empowers people to make meaningful, long-lasting changes related to reducing bias, creating inclusion, and promoting equity. Based in cognitive-behavioral science, this training approach empowers people to become impactful, autonomous agents of change, both within their own minds and behavior and in the social institutions they inhabit. Past randomized-controlled experiments testing the bias habit-breaking training’s impact have shown it produces long-term reductions in implicit bias, increases in speaking up against bias and in favor of inclusive practices, a statistically significant 43% increase in hiring women as science faculty, eliminating student achievement gaps when their teachers received the training, and an array of other improvements, in both individual behavior and organizational/institutional outcomes.
