On a test,if people who claimed not to be prejudiced against males staying home with their kids were slower and less accurate in classifying words into the categories of Male or Family as opposed to Male or Career, this would indicate that they

Accepted Answer

The slower and less accurate classification of words into the categories of Male or Family suggests that the individuals may have implicit prejudices against men taking on caregiving roles traditionally associated with women, even if they consciously deny having such prejudices. This indicates choice A is the most appropriate answer. Choice B is not relevant to the given information. Choice C is unlikely given the results of the test. Choice D is a possibility, but the information provided in the question does not support it as the best choice.
