老年人比年轻人表现出更大的偏见，但原因尚不清楚。在基于社区的样本中，我们发现老年白人在隐性测量（种族内隐关联测试）中表现出比年轻人更多的种族偏见。过程分离程序表明，内隐偏见的这种差异是由于老年人对其自动偏见联想的控制较少，而不是由于自动偏见联想较强。此外，这种控制上的年龄差异是由年龄相关的抑制能力缺陷介导的。白人参与者表现出比黑人参与者更强烈的自动偏见联想。
Older adults express greater prejudice than younger adults, but it is not clear why. In a community-based sample, we found that older White adults demonstrated more racial prejudice on an implicit measure, the race Implicit Association Test, than did younger adults. Process-dissociation procedures indicated that this difference in implicit prejudice was due to older adults having less control of their automatic prejudicial associations rather than stronger automatic prejudicial associations. Furthermore, this age difference in control was mediated by age-related deficits in inhibitory ability. White participants showed stronger automatic prejudicial associations than did Black participants.
