Slide17What does this have to do with Motorist Awareness?
Slide18Motorist Awareness
Bias and Stereotypes
Slide19Stereotyping is not limited to those who are biased.
We use stereotypes all the time.
They are a kind of mental shortcut.
Research shows that we ALL use categories to make sense of the world around us.
Our ability to categorize and evaluate is an important part of human intelligence.
Slide20Stereotypes May Have Emerged from Group Dynamics
Slide21Connections made often enough in the conscious mind eventually become unconscious stereotypes or bias.
T
hese connections come from mass media, peer pressure, and other cultural sources.
M
any children have entrenched and definite stereotypes by the age of five.
P
eople can teach themselves to weaken negative stereotypes by pausing to examine conscious facts.
This is called, “de-
automization
”

Slide28Remember–In 2013:
There were 4668 motorcycle fatalities and 8800 injuriesRiders were 26 times more likely to die in a crash and 5 times more likely to be injured
Slide29We can help drivers question their negative stereotypes and SEE the responsible rider…
Queen

Slide30by constantly giving them positive images.

Slide32If you can’t ride, wear your vest! Wear it to the grocery store or the mall!
