[QUOTE="cheryl, post: 262237, member: 1"] [URL="http://www.scienceagogo.com/news/20000326045826data_trunc_sys.shtml"][B][FONT=Verdana][SIZE=4][COLOR=#065bb1]Older People Are More Prejudiced - And They Can't Help It[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][/B] [/URL] A new study suggests that as older adults lose their inhibitory ability - the capacity to suppress unwanted or irrelevant information - they find it difficult to disregard their own stereotypical or prejudicial thoughts. The result is that older adults are more likely to think and express prejudicial thoughts, even when they want to be non-prejudiced and are reminded to ignore stereotypes. [/QUOTE]
