Description
Gans, Chasteen, and Horhota study how people judge older adults who call out age bias in a 2024 paper. Five hundred young and older adults rated older people shown before and after they answered a backhanded compliment. The pictured people varied by race and gender. Answers came in a moderate or a strong tone.
Race and tone shifted the ratings. Both age groups saw Black confronters as warmer when they used a moderate tone, but made no such split for White confronters. Older raters dropped White confronters on warmth and skill after any challenge, a pattern young raters did not show. The authors say identity mix shapes the cost of speaking up.
