  • Summary

  • Why do we naturally gravitate toward people who share our background, beliefs, or identity—even when it leads to unfair decisions? In this episode of Decision Dynamics, we delve into in-group bias, the psychological tendency to favor those who are similar to us while overlooking or mistrusting others.

    Through insightful examples, from workplace dynamics to social movements, and studies in social psychology, we explore how this bias shapes relationships, group behavior, and even societal structures. You'll also learn actionable techniques to challenge in-group bias, fostering greater fairness, empathy, and collaboration in your decisions.

    Tune in to understand why we instinctively favor "our own" and how to broaden your perspective for more inclusive decision-making!
