For the Children: Attitudes Toward Marriage and

Divorce in the United States

The deinstitutionalization of marriage suggests more support for divorce

and the forgoing of marriage. In this study, we examine attitudes toward

both marriage and divorce in the context of having children and how they

coincide with each other, creating a new typology of attitudes.

Why It’s Essential to Support Real-Life Teen Emotions in “Inside Out 2”

“Inside Out 2” explores relatable teen emotions—Anxiety, Envy, Embarrassment, and Ennui. Once considered "bad," these emotions are now understood as valuable, with research showing they sharpen our behavior and social skills. These feelings guide both teens and adults toward better outcomes.

TOOLS YOU CAN USE

Connecting Conversations

Tips for supporting communication between parents/caregivers and their children and teens.

Lessons From the Love Lab

Strong, supportive relationships are key to our mental and even physical health. But what are the keys to a healthy, loving relationship? John Gottman, PhD, and Julie Schwartz Gottman, PhD, talk about why it’s so important to pay attention to your partner’s “bids for connection,” how to have productive rather than destructive fights, whether any couple can learn to communicate better, and why it’s a myth that you should never go to bed angry.

WEBINAR

December 10, 2024

The Hidden Biases of Good People:

Implications for Individuals and Organizations

This training satisfies federal grant requirements for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Training.

Broadly speaking, group-based bias involves varying degrees of stereotyping (exaggerated beliefs about others), prejudice (dis/liking others), and/or discrimination (unequal treatment of others) that occur above or below conscious awareness. Scholars have labeled the subconscious form of group-based bias as implicit bias.

In this provocative and highly interactive presentation, Dr. Marks will describe the science behind the causes and consequences of implicit bias and its impact on individuals and organizational outcomes. Dr. Marks will also offer practical strategies for identifying, managing, and potentially mitigating implicit bias.

This is the second workshop in an annual series of DEI trainings. You do not need to have attended the first workshop to attend the second.

Objectives: Participants will be able to:

Understand the science behind implicit bias
Recognize the impact of implicit bias on individuals and organization
Identify personal and organizational implicit biases
Develop strategies to manage and reduce implicit bias
Foster a culture of inclusivity and fairness

Presenter: Rev. Dr. Bryant T. Marks, Sr., Professor, Morehouse College
