Abstract

We performed two conceptual replications of Bargh et al (1996), an age priming study, using a within subjects design and a novel method of measuring physical resources, a hand dynamometer. Prime manipulations used age-related words and faces. Distributions of participant data revealed no significant effects across either study.
