Abstract/Resumo
A measure assessing prescriptive age stereotypes towards younger workers, the Workplace
Ambivalent Youngism Scale (WAYS), was developed and validated with 1,888 participants from
U.S. and Portugal across four studies. Study 1 generated younger worker prescriptive stereotypes
items. Study 2 explored the item pool factor structure. Study 3 validated the factor structure,
examined convergent and divergent validity and tested for measurement invariance. The final scale
has 25 items and eight first-order factors, subsumed under three second-order factors: humility-
deference, loyalty-belonging, and vitality-innovation, which show ambivalent expectations
regarding younger workers. Study 4 tested the predictive power of WAYS with time-lagged data.
