PSYC12H3 Lecture Notes - Lecture 9: Baby Talk, Existential Therapy, Ageism
Document Summary
This is last class looking at targets of discrimination: two forms of bias or prejudice: bias towards people aof a certain age or bias directed towards gender. Ageism: what is evidence of ageism, where does it come from and what are the fefcts of holding ageist self stereotypes how it affects you. Sexism: bias against women, effects of it and moderant forms of sexism: ambivalent and benevolent sexism. Iclicker: people are very overt in saying i prefer the young dudes. This is scary as ageism in society does exist but it is in certain industries. In law, bar at old is at 35. Young people grew up with computers, internet is more active, someone who is 45 does not have these same type of skills, but totally wrong. Someone who was 50 was a head of 3 or 4 multimillion dollar companies in it. In some industries it is more prevalent than other industries.
