Do We See the World Through a Bias? New Study Explores Race Perception

On “Psychology Behind the Headlines,” hosts Jessica Reyes, Patricia Wu, and guest therapist Ryan Heapy discuss a study about how we perceive race.

The positive perception of mixed-race faces hints at the potential for changing ideas of attractiveness as our society becomes more diverse.

The evolving brain

This research suggests that our brains may adapt over time, leading to a more accepting and inclusive view of others.
