    Social psychology explores both explicit, conscious thoughts as well as implicit, unconscious thoughts which are harder to control and can be expressed through nonverbal communication. Implicit biases are measured using tests like the IAT which examines errors, response times, and comparative scores. Biases often form due to realistic conflicts between groups, outgroup suspicion of those who are different, a desire for social identity, and self-esteem. Changing implicit biases requires understanding their origins and exposing oneself to counterstereotypical associations.
