2. Using concepts and information from at least two of the required readings, answer the following questions:

• What was the most common result on the Age IAT? Were you surprised by this? Why or why not?
• 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?
• How does age diversity benefit workplaces, families, and communities? How would you suggest businesses go about eliminating age-related bias?
