May not be what you are looking for, but I take a series of pictures (different genders, ethnicities, etc...) and show them in a pre-timed slide show about 2 seconds per slide. As the pictures come up, I have students write down the first couple of words they think of when seeing the image. It can be any response. Afterwards, I ask a few questions, such as who would you like to have as a friend, who seems to be the most fun, who would you like to work for, would most likely emerge as the leader of a group, etc... They could even vote to see which picture gets the highest ratings from the class on these questions.
This process is very revealing in identifying perceptual biases.
Best of luck,

OB Folks,
I'm seeking interactive short exercises regarding (1) Perspective Taking and (2) Forming Accurate Attributions. This would be for part of a Negotiation course lesson. Thank you for your assistance!
Gratefully,
