THERE ARE TWO QUESTIONS IN THIS DOCUMENT , LABEL EACH WITH HEADINGS. 3 APA CITA
AGEISM AND IMPLICIT BIAS
The resources for this week explore implicit bias and how it differs from prejudice. They also examine ageism and the implications of this injustice. While these two topics may not seem to directly relate to each other, the readings for the week will demonstrate the connections between them.
To begin, go to the Project Implicit website (https://implicit.harvard.edu/implicit/selectatest.html). Take the Age IAT and make a note of how you score and what percentage of IAT takers fall into the same category that you do. If you do not fall into the most common group, make a note of what that one is, as well.?If you are unable to complete the IAT for any reason, please click?

?for a set of sample results you can use for this discussion.
Then, using concepts and information from?at least two?of the required readings, answer the following questions:
1. What was the most common result on the Age IAT? Were you surprised by this? Why or why not?
2. What are some of the stereotypes or single stories that people in our culture have about older Americans? For example, how often do you see older people represented on TV or in the movies? How might this relate to implicit or unconscious bias?
3. How does age diversity benefit workplaces, families, and communities? How would you suggest businesses go about eliminating age-related bias?
