FACULTY DIVERSITY: RECRUITMENT AND DEVELOPMENT


ASSESSMENT

  • Self-Assessments. National Center for Cultural Competence,
    George Washington University. A compilation of links to on-line self-assessment tools with a focus on cultural competences and service delivery with children, youth, and families; and educational settings and health and health disparities.
  • Implicit Association Test.
    The Implicit Association Test (IAT) measures attitudes and beliefs that people may be unwilling or unable to report. The IAT may be especially interesting if it shows that you have an implicit attitude that you did not know about. For example, you may believe that women and men should be equally associated with science, but your automatic associations could show that you (like many others) associate men with science more than you associate women with science.
