Implicit bias can influence jury decision-making. Training judges about implicit bias is a fairly new endeavor, and not all judges are necessarily aware of these biases. Even when judges are aware that biases exist, they might not know whether or not they should alert jurors to such biases or how to appropriately do so. It is currently unknown how many judges alert jurors to implicit bias (e.g. via instructions or juror orientation). The purpose of this study is to discuss judges’ beliefs and practices regarding implicit bias in the courtroom. The findings indicate that the majority of judges (72%) do not alert jurors to implicit bias. Many judges were found to have a lack of awareness or understanding about implicit bias, but many now feel that alerting jurors about bias is important and would like to do so in the future.

隐性偏见会影响陪审团的决策。对法官进行隐性偏见培训是一项相当新的尝试，并非所有法官都必须意识到这些偏见。即使法官意识到存在偏见，他们也可能不知道是否应该提醒陪审员注意这种偏见或如何适当地这样做。目前尚不清楚有多少法官提醒陪审员注意隐性偏见（例如通过指示或陪审员指导）。本研究的目的是讨论法官对法庭内隐性偏见的看法和做法。调查结果表明，大多数法官（72%）没有提醒陪审员注意隐性偏见。许多法官被发现缺乏对隐性偏见的认识或理解，但许多人现在认为提醒陪审员注意偏见很重要，并希望在未来这样做。
