IAT Response

For my Implicit Associations test I took the age test. My results were that I prefer young people to older people by 30%. I was slightly surprised by this result because my maternal grandparents played a large role in raising me, however I am not too surprised because it is only by 30% and not a large number. It also makes some sense because the college environment we live in fosters a bit of age biases since the people we interact with the most here are our peers within a three year age range and the usually older professors can sometimes be seen as a negative presence of authority.
