Which organization developed a program to evaluate unconscious bias?

• A. Project Implicit (Harvard University)
• B. World Health Organization
• C. United Nations
• D. American Psychological Association

Answer: (A)

Unconscious bias is about automatic attitudes and associations that people may not consciously acknowledge. The program that developed a formal way to evaluate this kind of bias is Project Implicit at Harvard University. They created the Implicit Association Test (IAT), an online tool that measures how quickly and strongly people connect certain social groups with positive or negative attributes. This test is widely used in research and education to reveal implicit biases that can influence judgments and behavior, even when someone consciously rejects prejudice. The other organizations listed are well-known global and professional bodies, but they did not originate a standardized online instrument like the IAT to assess unconscious bias. World Health Organization focuses on health, United Nations on international policy, and the American Psychological Association publishes research and guidelines, not a single, public program for measuring implicit bias.
