To Learn More About the Specific Types of Bias Covered in the Game:

Attributional Rationalization: Group stereotypes may lead to assumptions that people from underrepresented groups are less competent than their majority peers. As a result, they may not receive credit for their accomplishments, which are often incorrectly attributed to others or to factors other than their efforts (e.g., luck).

Color-Blind Racial Attitudes: Color-blind racial attitudes reflect the belief that discrimination no longer exists. Though based on the positive premise that we should all be treated equally, a color-blind approach discounts the experiences of members of minority groups and can backfire to promote bias.

Competency Proving: To counter common assumptions about their presumed incompetence, members of minority groups frequently and repeatedly have to demonstrate that they are indeed qualified, capable, and/or competent.

Failure to Differentiate: Members of a particular minority group may sometimes be mistaken for one another by a person of a different group. All groups share this unintentional recognition bias, but research suggests the effect is most pronounced for White individuals when viewing racial and ethnic minorities.

Impression Management: People from historically low status or underrepresented groups must often pay more conscious attention to how they behave (e.g., a Black student may consciously modulate his/her tone of voice or volume of speech to prevent activating the racial stereotype of being angry or aggressive) or how they dress in order to reinforce their professional role. A casual appearance may elicit prevailing negative images of their group.

Racial Microaggressions: Microaggressions are brief and subtle comments, behaviors, or environmental cues that intentionally or unintentionally communicate hostile, derogatory, or unwelcoming messages toward members of underrepresented groups. When accumulated, these seemingly minor messages lead to harmful isolation and alienation. There are three types of microaggressions: microassaults, microinsults, and microinvalidations.

Shifting Standards of Judgment: The presumed incompetence of members of underrepresented groups causes well-qualified underrepresented individuals to be judged as highly competent when compared to members of their group. But, they are held to even higher standards and require greater proof of competence than comparable members of the majority group.

Status Leveling: Based on stereotypes about the lower social standing of minority groups, status leveling occurs when a person from an underrepresented group is assumed to belong to a lower social category or position.

Stereotype Threat: Stereotype threat occurs when awareness of negative stereotypes about one’s own group induces stress and anxiety about confirming the stereotype. Situations that consciously or unconsciously trigger stereotype threat can lead members of minority groups to underperform relative to their ability.

What is Fair Play?

Posted on: March 11th, 2016 by Jake Ruesch

Fair Play provides players with the opportunity to take the perspective of Jamal Davis, a Black graduate student on his way to becoming a renowned professor. In this game, players experience racial bias during interactions with other characters, as well as in the virtual environment. As Jamal, the road to success involves navigating the academic world; as a Black student, bias can steer you off of a successful path. Winning in Fair Play involves learning when and how to name biases. While many will succeed in Fair Play, the true winners are those that learn the reality of bias.

Content of the Game

Fair Play represents a true to life simulation of the complex social world for a graduate student in academia. As Jamal, you will find an advisor, secure funding, establish social networks, publish papers and attend conferences. In addition to recreating the graduate experience, Fair Play presents real-life examples of bias concepts such as microaggressions, color blind racial attitudes, tokenism and others. The game involves taking on the challenges of graduate student while also learning when, how or if to name biases.

Fair Play Workshops to Address Bias

Funding from the University of Wisconsin System Administration and National Institutes of Health provides the opportunity to learn about and identify biases within Fair Play; complementary workshops help participants address and counteract them in academic settings. Please check this site frequently to see when and where workshops are available. Or, contact us for information about planning your own.

RESEARCH SUPPORTING THE DEVELOPMENT OF FAIR PLAY

Although most people have personal values that oppose prejudice, we all grow up in a culture replete with stereotypes and biased representations of members of minority groups. These stereotypes are learned at a young age, and create automatic bias that can affect our behavior, even when our conscious values oppose bias (Devine, 1989).

Becoming aware of our potential to behave in unintentionally biased ways is the first step to overcoming these implicit biases. If we are aware that we may have unintentionally activated bias, we can be mindful of situations in which this bias can occur, and make sure we behave in ways that are consistent with our personal values that oppose prejudice (Carnes et al., 2012, 2015; Devine et al., 2012).

Members of stigmatized groups frequently report microaggressions — commonplace daily indignities that are often unintentional, but nevertheless have negative effects on those targeted by them (Sue et al., 2007). Even if the perpetrator of a microaggression has no ill intentions, the effect on the target can be devastating, especially given that these microaggressions are so common, and they add up, leading to increased anxiety and even depression (Cox et al., 2012).

Using Fair Play as a learning tool provides the opportunity to see the graduate school journey through the eyes of a Black student, our Fair Play Workshop highlights many of the obstacles that sometimes prevent minorities from excelling in post-graduate education. The workshop increases awareness about different sorts of microaggressions and teaches techniques for overcoming them within oneself and addressing them in others. This workshop can help us all in our goals to reduce unintentional biases within ourselves and promote excellence in people of all backgrounds.

Fair Play is based on principles drawn from research and other published works. Some of the key arguments for its approach are on our Resources page, along with other papers, if you are interested in learning more about these topics.

To Learn More About the Specific Types of Bias Covered in the Game:

Attributional Rationalization: Group stereotypes may lead to assumptions that people from underrepresented groups are less competent than their majority peers. As a result, they may not receive credit for their accomplishments, which are often incorrectly attributed to others or to factors other than their efforts (e.g., luck).

Color-Blind Racial Attitudes: Color-blind racial attitudes reflect the belief that discrimination no longer exists. Though based on the positive premise that we should all be treated equally, a color-blind approach discounts the experiences of members of minority groups and can backfire to promote bias.

Competency Proving: To counter common assumptions about their presumed incompetence, members of minority groups frequently and repeatedly have to demonstrate that they are indeed qualified, capable, and/or competent.

Failure to Differentiate: Members of a particular minority group may sometimes be mistaken for one another by a person of a different group. All groups share this unintentional recognition bias, but research suggests the effect is most pronounced for White individuals when viewing racial and ethnic minorities.

Impression Management: People from historically low status or underrepresented groups must often pay more conscious attention to how they behave (e.g., a Black student may consciously modulate his/her tone of voice or volume of speech to prevent activating the racial stereotype of being angry or aggressive) or how they dress in order to reinforce their professional role. A casual appearance may elicit prevailing negative images of their group.

Racial Microaggressions: Microaggressions are brief and subtle comments, behaviors, or environmental cues that intentionally or unintentionally communicate hostile, derogatory, or unwelcoming messages toward members of underrepresented groups. When accumulated, these seemingly minor messages lead to harmful isolation and alienation. There are three types of microaggressions: microassaults, microinsults, and microinvalidations.

Shifting Standards of Judgment: The presumed incompetence of members of underrepresented groups causes well-qualified underrepresented individuals to be judged as highly competent when compared to members of their group.
