    "abstract": "The current study examines 120 5 to 10-year-old children's beliefs about adults' abilities to use and fix tablet technology when those adults belong to varying gender (man, woman) and age (young, old) categories. The results indicate that, overall, children appear to prioritize age over gender when judging adults' technological knowledge, with children choosing younger adults as more competent at using and fixing tablets than older adults. In addition, when evaluating adults of the same age category (e.g., a young man and a young woman), children show in-group gender-based preferences where girls choose women and boys choose men. This in-group preference is more pronounced in children's selections of adults when determining who would be better at fixing tablets than who would be better at using these devices. Implications for children's developing ability to consider intersectional identities based on gender and age, and for their STEM learning, are discussed.",
