My IAT test revealed that I have a slight preference for young people over old people. One reason I took this particular test was that I didn’t believe I had any bias against older people. My grandparents have each been very influential figures in my life, and I’ve grown up admiring them. Perhaps the family affiliation neutralizes a bias against older people. My results align with the dominant preference. I don’t know why Americans tend to have bias against older people, but I think that it is a more subtle predisposition that often goes unnoticed. I wonder if the typical young person living in a society where older people are revered would still have a preference for other young people, or if the scores would be reversed.
