Biases that operate below the level of conscious awareness, influencing judgment, perception, and behavior without the individual's knowledge. Hidden biases are often formed through cultural conditioning, early experiences, or implicit associations. They can contradict a person's explicit values (e.g., someone who consciously values equality may still harbor implicit racial biases). Hidden biases are typically measured through indirect methods like the Implicit Association Test. Recognizing hidden biases requires deliberate reflection and external feedback, as they are invisible to the biased person by definition.
