Commission defines the term "ageism' in reference to two concepts: a socially constructed way of thinking about older persons based on negative attitudes and stereotypes about aging and a tendency to structure society based on an assumption that everyone is young, thereby failing to respond appropriately to the real needs of older persons." Consider the following hypothesis: Hypothesis: Views consistent with high levels of ageism is more common among history students at UTSC than among biology students.

Briefly evaluate whether this would be an appropriate hypothesis to test using a public opinion survey of 5,000 UTSC students. Suggest three questions that you ask on a public opinion survey to measure ageism.

Assess whether all three measure the same, or different, dimensions of the construct (ageism).
