Consider the Implicit Association Test in which people are asked to categorize words as well as Caucasian/AfricanAmerican names. If you were to design a similar measure to assess implicit associations related to age, and more specifically, implicit negative beliefs about older people, which pattern of results might your IAT produce to indicate such ageism?
a. Participants report that they like younger-sounding names (e.g., Dylan, Carter) more than older-soundingnames (e.g., Gladys, Sydney). b. Participants take longer to pair positive words with older-sounding names and negative words with youngersounding names than vice versa. c. Participants primed with words related to old age (e.g., "Florida," "Bingo," "wheelchair") internalizestereotypes regarding the elderly and demonstrate slower reaction times to the categorization tasks. d. Participants are quicker to recognize and categorize photos of young faces than photos of older faces.
