Friendship and Bias: Ethical and Epistemic Considerations

Ethno-racial Disparities in Canada's Labour Market: the Case of Recent Graduates

“…In addition to scientific racism, under which particular groups are disfavoured due to beliefs that their ethno-racial backgrounds, or other closely related factors such as religion, are "inferior" (Jackson & Weidman, 2005), theories about similarity-attraction from social psychology provide another perspective for such bias. That is, people are more likely to be attracted to those with similar attitudes, beliefs, personality traits, and thus ethno-racial identities, simply because one's comfort is greater amidst such familiar people (Lintott, 2015;Montoya & Horton, 2012). This perspective implies that 'unfamiliar' people may not necessarily be considered "inferior", but rather too different for comfort (Lintott, 2015).…”

Given that, a "minority" in any society may, by definition, be subject to less favourable socioeconomic outcomes, simply because the "majority" would rather connect with other members of that majority due to their commonalities.…”

Özel Yetenekli Tanısı Almış ve Almamış Çocukların Empatik Eğilimleri ile Arkadaş İlişkilerinde Kalıp Yargıları Arasındaki İlişkinin İncelenmesi

“…Kalıp yargılara yönelik eğilimler düşüncelerimizi sadeleştirerek karar vermemizi kolaylaştırır. Arkadaş ilişkilerinde kalıp yargıları içeren çalışmalar sınırlı sayıdadır (Aktan ve Güvenç, 2008;Balcı Çelik vd., 2016;Demir, 2016;Lintott, 2015;Page-Gould vd., 2010). Bu araştırmaların birinde başarılı-başarısız çocukların ayrı sınıflarda olduğu bir okuldaki çocuklar ile karma eğitim görülen başka bir okuldaki çocukların kalıp yargıları karşılaştırılmıştır.…”

Epistemic Partialism

“…This leaves open the possibility of certain kinds of indirect epistemic partiality.13 Others, such asKolodny (2010) andKeller (2007), explore political dimensions to wider partialism regarding the question of who we can justifiably be partial to. However, they are largely concerned to limit partiality to friendship (rather than allowing for partiality to members of one's state, racial group and so on), and thus do not consider the political dimensions of friendship itself Lintott (2015). gives an overview of some political dimensions of friendship.…”
