Visit the Harvard Implicit Association Test Website (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site., and take the weight demo test. Now imagine the following scenario: You are mediating a parental conflict about the medical decision-making for their 14-year-old daughter. The father thinks that his daughter is anorexic, while the mother thinks she is just a 14-year-old girl who is working out a lot so she can be on the dance team at school. The father wants to schedule an appointment with a nutritionist, as the child’s pediatrician suggested at her recent annual physical. The doctor was concerned that the girl had lost 20 lbs. over the last year, yet she remained the same height. The doctor also noted that for her height, the girl was more than 25 pounds under the average weight for a girl of her height and weight and that her body mass index would suggest that she has no measurable body fat. When the father finished explaining this, the mother proudly states, “Fat girls never should be on the dance team.” She continued to say that her daughter is never going to be an “ugly, fat girl.” You are familiar with the school’s dance team, as well as other teams at this school because your spouse is the principal there. You start to reflect on all the girls’ sports teams and performing arts groups and you realize that you cannot recall seeing any overweight girls on any school team or group. You start to question in your mind the apparent community bias against overweight girls and you now must step out of the mediation session for a moment. Upon coming back in, can you mediate the session without blatantly siding with the father? Should you terminate the mediation without notification or reason? Answer the following questions the following and cite references: Can you go back into the session without blatantly siding with one party or the other? What would be the possible impact of continuing the mediation once you recognized your bias? Should you terminate the mediation and give no reason to the parties for doing so? What is the importance of knowing your own implicit biases as a mediator?
