“…On the one hand, this limitation does not undermine the primary purpose of understanding how majority groups (White participants) display racial biases and altered behaviors under mild sleep restriction (note that police officers in the U.S. are disproportionately White relative to Census estimates 56 ). On the other hand, the limited variability in participant demographics hindered us from examining whether effects www.nature.com/scientificreports/ were driven by in-group/out-group determinants 57,58 versus general stereotyping of Black men 59 . Increasing diversity in participant enrollment is a longstanding problem in both psychological and medical research [60][61][62] .…”

Violent behavior, police brutality, and racial discrimination are currently at the forefront of society’s attention, and they should be. We investigated whether mild sleep loss—as typical for many adults throughout the work week—could aggravate the socio-emotional-cognitive processes contributing to violence and discrimination. In a sample of 40 healthy young adults, we either experimentally restricted participants’ sleep for four nights (6.2 h/night) or let participants obtain normal sleep (7.7 h/night)—and then had them complete the Police Officer’s Dilemma Task. In this computerized task, the participant must rapidly decide to shoot or not shoot at White and Black men who either are or are not holding a gun. Results showed significant racial biases, including more and quicker shooting of Black targets compared to White targets. Furthermore, signal detection analyses demonstrated that mild sleep restriction changed participants’ decision criterion, increasing the tendency to shoot, even when controlling for psychomotor vigilance, fluid intelligence, and self-reported desirability to behave in a socially acceptable manner. The increased tendency to shoot was also observed in participants who reported believing that they had adapted to the sleep loss. Future experimental research using trained police officers will help establish the generalizability of these laboratory effects. Importantly, sleep loss is modifiable via organization-level changes (e.g., shift scheduling, light entrainment) and individual-level interventions (e.g., sleep hygiene education, incentives for behavioral change), suggesting that if sleep loss is corrected, it could save lives—including Black lives.

“…Both Black and White Americans appear susceptible to at least some of the same implicit anti‐Black biases. For example, both Black and White Americans similarly associate Black men with violence in implicit tasks (Correll, Park, Judd, & Wittenbrink, 2002; Valla et al, 2018). Black individuals show an implicit preference for White (relative to Black) people when choosing a partner for a performance task (Ashburn‐Nardo, Knowles, & Monteith, 2003), and in an intellectual context, Black individuals tend to evaluate other Black individuals more negatively when they hold stronger implicit bias in favour of White people (Ashburn‐Nardo & Johnson, 2008).…”

The opportunity for parents to select their children's school is both increasingly common and linked to school segregation in the U.S. Here, we investigate how race and racial attitudes shape parents' classroom preferences, which have direct implications for school choices. We measured the implicit and explicit racial attitudes of both White and Black parents (Study 1: N = 201; mean age = 35.46; 173 women, 28 men; 37 Black, 147 White) of preschool-aged children who themselves were about to choose educational settings for their children, as well as those parents' preferences for classrooms varying in racial composition. Both implicit and explicit racial attitudes separately predicted classroom preferences, suggesting that both overt and covert racial prejudice play roles in the related decision of school enrollment.Results were replicated in a follow-up study using a sample of college students (Study 2: N = 357; mean age = 18.90; 183 women, 169 men, 2 transgender, 2 non-binary, 1 unreported; 144 Black, 213 White). Racially biased parents tend to prefer classrooms with fewer Black students, an effect that occurs even for implicit measures of bias and varies to some extent based on parental race. These effects

“…It is possible that Mr. Nazir voices this perspective to avoid conflict in professional settings, and it is also possible that he has unknowingly internalized this perspective.

Introduction: This article describes an educational case study based in a School of Nursing at a private university in the Southeastern United States which is called by students to address structural racism and a lack of diversity, equity and inclusion in the program. In the case study, a decision is made to review and revise the curriculum. A variety of stakeholders are included, and they have a variety of motivations and levels of commitment to the work.Methodology and results: The case was created by nurse educators, and based on a fictitious school with invented characters. Teaching notes are provided for the facilitator, and discussion questions and activities for the learners.Discussion: Current and future nursing faculty may use this case study to learn about curricular revision to support equitable educational practices. Instilling diversity, equity and inclusion in the nursing curriculum equips future nursing professionals to provide culturally congruent health care.
