Proposed Behavioural Science Intervention: Reducing the Impact of Caste-Based Bias and Prejudice in The Workplace Through the Prejudice-Habit Breaking Model

Abstract

This article entails crucial elements of how the caste system functions in the context of professional settings in India. Socioeconomic and political differentials across different domains breed an implicit bias that impacts the professional trajectory of individuals across the socially stratified segments. This article attempts to curate an intervention using strategies drawn predominantly from the prejudice habit-breaking model (Devine et al., 2017). This behavioural science intervention is specifically tailored to fit the context of caste-based bias and prejudice to address problems corresponding to the same.
