          Abstract

          Abstract: Views on aging (VoA) have been comprehensively examined in the health context, whereas little is known about how VoA vary between age groups. Two representative surveys (WIdO survey: N = 3,000, 18–39 years; German Ageing Survey: N = 4,349, 40–85 years) used the same five scales to measure VoA. We found a tipping point between feeling older than one’s chronological age and feeling younger at age 24.6. Gain-related perceptions of aging were high in all age groups, and loss-based perceptions increased with advancing age. Only after the age of 77 did participants count themselves in the group of “old people.” These findings underscore the importance of conceptualizing VoA as a lifespan construct and extend earlier studies with either younger or older adults.

          Age differences in loneliness from late adolescence to oldest old age.

          Maike Luhmann, Louise C. Hawkley (2016)
          Contrary to common stereotypes, loneliness is not restricted to old age but can occur at any life stage. In this study, we used data from a large, nationally representative German study (N = 16,132) to describe and explain age differences in loneliness from late adolescence to oldest old age. The age distribution of loneliness followed a complex nonlinear trajectory, with elevated loneliness levels among young adults and among the oldest old. The late-life increase in loneliness could be explained by lower income levels, higher prevalence of functional limitations, and higher proportion of singles in this age group. Consistent with an age-normative perspective, the association of income, relationship status, household size, and work status with loneliness differed between different age groups. In contrast, indicators of the quantity of social relationships (social engagement, number of friends, contact frequency) were universally associated with loneliness regardless of age. Overall, these findings show that sources of loneliness in older adults are well understood. Future research should focus on understanding the specific sources of loneliness in middle-aged adults.

            A Review and Meta-Analysis of Age-Based Stereotype Threat: Negative Stereotypes, Not Facts, Do the Damage

            Ruth Lamont, Hannah J. Swift, Dominic Abrams (2015)
            Stereotype threat effects arise when an individual feels at risk of confirming a negative stereotype about their group and consequently underperforms on stereotype relevant tasks (Steele, 2010). Among older people, underperformance across cognitive and physical tasks is hypothesized to result from age-based stereotype threat (ABST) because of negative age-stereotypes regarding older adults’ competence. The present review and meta-analyses examine 22 published and 10 unpublished articles, including 82 effect sizes (N = 3882) investigating ABST on older people’s (M age = 69.5) performance. The analysis revealed a significant small-to-medium effect of ABST (d = .28) and important moderators of the effect size. Specifically, older adults are more vulnerable to ABST when (a) stereotype-based rather than fact-based manipulations are used (d = .52); (b) when performance is tested using cognitive measures (d = .36); and (c) occurs reliably when the dependent variable is measured proximally to the manipulation. The review raises important theoretical and methodological issues, and areas for future research.
