Anonymous asked:
I know gender and race are often the main communities discussed around this, but is it possible I'm bias against other communities or types of people and don't even know it? Who are often the communities most often victim to bias?
action Answer:
Surprising to many, Americans’ strongest negative bias is toward the elderly. There seems to be a very strong pro-youth bias in the U.S. such that most of us prefer the younger versions of ourselves and others. Here are a few questions for you: if you could be any age for the rest of your life, would you choose to be over 50 years old? What characteristics or thoughts come to mind when you think about getting old or the elderly? Many Americans, regardless of their race, gender, or socioeconomic status, hold more positive associations with younger people and many negative associations with elderly people.
