  1. Implicit bias in peer educators refers to:

    Answer: Unconscious attitudes or stereotypes that affect judgments and actions without awareness

    Implicit biases are unconscious beliefs or stereotypes that influence decision-making and behavior without the person's deliberate awareness.

  2. The concept of 'code-switching' in DEI education refers to:

    Answer: The practice of adjusting one's language and behavior to fit dominant cultural norms in different settings

    Code-switching describes the effort many people from marginalized groups make to shift their speech and behavior to navigate different cultural or professional environments.

  3. When addressing diversity in peer education workshops on a US college campus, it is most important to:

    Answer: Create space for multiple dimensions of identity including race, gender, ability, and socioeconomic status

    Inclusive DEI education acknowledges that identity is multidimensional and that all dimensions — not just race — contribute to students' experiences.

  4. A peer educator facilitating a program for first-generation college students should recognize that these students may:

    Answer: Face unique challenges such as lack of family familiarity with college systems and fewer financial resources

    First-generation college students often navigate unfamiliar systems without family guidance and may face financial and social capital gaps that peer educators should understand.

  5. What does the term 'tokenism' mean in a DEI peer education context?

    Answer: Including one or few members of a marginalized group to appear diverse without meaningful inclusion

    Tokenism involves superficially including marginalized individuals to create an appearance of diversity without addressing systemic inclusion or equity.

  6. Bystander intervention training in DEI peer education teaches students to:

    Answer: Recognize and safely respond to incidents of bias, harassment, or discrimination

    Bystander intervention equips individuals with concrete strategies to safely interrupt or respond to bias incidents, shifting from passive observers to active upstanders.
