Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

High self-consciousness individuals are more aware of themselves and their behavior, which may lead them to behave in a more stereotypical manner when primed with stereotypes. In this case, priming with stereotypes about senior citizens may lead to the individual walking more slowly, as that is a stereotype associated with older people. Option B is less likely because priming with stereotypes about senior citizens would not necessarily make someone walk faster. Options C and D are not directly related to the priming of senior citizen stereotypes, so they are not the best choices.
