Unit 4 Assignment
For this assignment, you are going to gather some data and discuss your results. Interview or survey 10 people and ask each person the first three terms or words that come to mind when they think of each of these age groups (so each interviewee will give you 12 words):
Children
Teenagers
Which words were mentioned most frequently for each age group? Were they mostly P, N, or O?
Do the words get more negative as you move from children to senior citizens or more positive? Or is there no change as you move up each age group?
Many of these words will be stereotypes to describe each age group. Where do these stereotypes come from? Cite from your readings and/or outside sources (include APA-formatted, in-text citations) to support your statements.
