Question

which of the following describes \making a judgment about a person simply based upon their age\?
○ race discrimination
○ ethnocentricity
○ ageism
○ stereotype

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Race discrimination: Involves bias based on race, not age. Eliminate.
• Ethnocentricity: Focuses on one's own ethnic group, not age. Eliminate.
• Ageism: Is prejudice or discrimination based on a person's age. This matches "judgment based on age".
• Stereotype: A general belief about a group, but not specific to age (though age - related stereotypes exist, ageism is more about discrimination/prejudgment based on age). Ageism is a more precise fit here.

Answer:

B. Ageism
