A friendly reminder that there is no evidence that this type of intervention is effective, and good reason to think it isn’t. If you’re not interested in evaluating the impact of your anti-bias training, you’re not really interested in reducing bias.

More potential missed opportunities to test whether diversity and anti-bias training works! American Airlines will train 130K workers over next 2 months; PWC is training 50K; but no RCTs of training efficacy mentioned here: chicagotribune.com/business/ct-bi…

These four @GEICO letters arrived in my mailbox today addressed to myself and the previous three tenants of the house. Which one would be most effective? #BehavioralEconomics

For anyone who likes science and eating, this thread is a Joy.

(THREAD) Inspired by @stpehaniemlee ’s new piece, we have decided to share this. We have the dubious honor of being a victim of @BrianWansink and Collin R. Payne’s early work.
