Nature research paper: Scale dichotomization reduces customer racial discrimination and income inequality

Scale dichotomization reduces customer racial discrimination and income inequality - Nature
Changing from a five-point scale to a two-point scale for rating workers reduces racial discrimination by making customers focus on whether the work was good or bad instead of their own personal biases.

Excited to share a new paper in @nature.com (www.nature.com/articles/s41...)

We show how a change from five-star ratings to thumbs up/down eliminated a race gap in worker ratings and income

Sometimes the right solution is the simple one

A 2-point instead of 5-point performance-rating scale tempers racial prejudices & improves income equality for workers from under-represented groups @tristanbotelho.bsky.social @decelles.bsky.social
