Are individuals morally responsible for their implicit biases? One reason to think not is that implicit biases are often advertised as unconscious, ‘introspectively inaccessible’ attitudes. However, recent empirical evidence consistently suggests that individuals are aware of their implicit biases, although often in partial and inarticulate ways. Here I explore the implications of this evidence of partial awareness for individuals' moral responsibility. First, I argue that responsibility comes in degrees. Second, I argue that individuals' partial awareness of their implicit biases makes them (partially) morally responsible for them. I argue by analogy to a close relative of implicit bias: moods.

隐性偏见、情绪和道德责任

个人是否对他们隐含的偏见负有道德责任？不认为的一个原因是隐性偏见经常被宣传为无意识的、“内省性难以接近”的态度。然而，最近的经验证据一致表明，个人意识到他们的隐性偏见，尽管通常以片面和难以表达的方式。在这里，我探讨了这一部分意识到个人道德责任的证据的含义。首先，我认为责任是有等级的。其次，我认为个人对其隐性偏见的部分意识使他们（部分）对这些偏见负有道德责任。我通过类比来论证隐性偏见的近亲：情绪。
