“…At the same time, human cultures are becoming increasingly globalized and interconnected (Steger, 2012). For example, the Black Lives Matter movement spurred anti-racist protests beyond the United States (Beaman et al, 2023), and the push for marriage equality in the United States coincided with similar social movements worldwide (Paternotte, 2015). As such, there are also reasons to believe that the patterns initially established in the United States may similarly characterize (a subset of) human cultures more generally.…”

“…When it comes to race attitudes, the deviation from the United States -which showed a sizable decrease in bias over the same period -may be explained by the cultural specificity of the increased public attention to anti-Black racism and the social movements aiming to alleviate it (Sawyer & Gampa, 2018). Specifically, although the recent Black Lives Matter movement had some reverberations internationally (Beaman et al, 2023), a Google Trends search reveals that, even at its height, interest was highly concentrated in the United States, with attention in other parts of the world significantly lagging behind.…”

Following decades of experimental investigations involving individual participants, large-scale open data and computational advances newly enable the study of how social attitudes have changed over the long term, at the level of societies. In this project, we harness data from the Project Implicit International Dataset (Charlesworth et al., 2023), collected continuously between 2009 and 2019 from 1.4 million+ participants across 33 countries, to examine global trends in explicit (self-reported) and implicit (automatically revealed) attitudes toward five social group targets (age, body weight, sexuality, skin tone, and race). Bayesian time-series modeling using Integrated Nested Laplace Approximations (INLA) revealed changes toward less bias in all five explicit attitudes, with effect sizes ranging from 18% for body weight to 43% for sexuality. Implicit attitudes also decreased in bias by 36% for sexuality; implicit age, body weight, and race attitudes remained constant; finally, and uniquely, implicit skin tone attitudes increased in bias by 20%, with the pace of change accelerating since 2016. Results were robust across changes in sample composition and unlikely to be explained by age or cohort effects. Consistent patterns of change across all explicit attitudes toward less bias imply the presence of increasingly widespread norms against the expression of negativity toward stigmatized groups. The findings involving implicit attitudes underscore the potential of these attitudes to exhibit meaningful, long-term change toward either less or more bias. Moreover, the variability in implicit attitude trajectories suggests that the relevant sources of change are likely to be macro-level events affecting a particular attitude domain.

“…The pandemic raised awareness of many aspects of societal inequality and the murder of George Floyd in the USA in May 2020 initiated a global antiracist movement, which saw protests in the USA and many countries across Europe bringing with it a new discourse about structural and individual level bias and discrimination. 7 In August 2020, the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology led a joint statement for collective action addressing racism with many US-based reproductive health organisations and in September 2020, the International Confederation of Midwives also released an antiracism statement. 8 There seemed to be a positive shift towards top-down drivers for change.…”
