Book Description:

Humans automatically categorize others in social perception. Some categorizations - race, gender, and age -- are so automatic that they are termed "primitive categories. " As we categorize, we develop stereotypes about the categories. Researchers know much about racism and sexism, but comparatively little about prejudice based on age.
