Sensitivity Reading
Version 1.0.0 · Updated 2026-07-31
CORE DEFINITION
Hiring readers who belong to a specific group (e.g., ethnic minorities, people with disabilities) to specifically check the manuscript for stereotypes, offensive descriptions, or factual errors about that group.
SCAFFOLDING EFFECT
Reduce cognitive load
Blind spot checking. When you describe a group you are completely unfamiliar with (e.g., a man writing about women, a healthy person writing about depression), do not be blindly confident. Find someone from that group to help you review, to avoid unintentional offense.
Anchor fast decisions
Before publication or official release, review content for potential overreaction or misinterpretation by the audience, and weaken sensitive expressions in advance. It balances expression and risk.
