Book excerpt: Excerpt from Age Stereotyping and Television: Hearing Before the Select Committee on Aging, House of Representatives, Ninety-Fifth Congress, First Session, September 8, 1977 Progress has been made in television. But I was struck in one of our earlier committee hearings, on Active Americans Over 65, that television role models are still inadequate. One of the witnesses in that earlier hearing was Will Geer, better known as Grandpa Walton. Grandpa Walton is everybody's ideal of a grandfather wise, humorous, loving, accepted. Perfect. And that is a problem in itself: Grandpa Walton is perfect, and who can live up to that ideal? Will Geer, on the other hand, was a real, live person who, in a ten-minute presentation before the Committee, created a more desireable, exciting, human and real model than Grandpa Walton could ever hope to match. Grandpa Walton is an improved role model in television programs, but he still leaves room for more improvement. We fear we cannot be that good, and we fear our own limitations which we acquire as we age. Balanced role models are the goal of this Committee hearing. What progress has been made by the television industry is to be commended; what progress remains is to be encouraged. We should all remember this the next time we feel that panic associated with growing old in America. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The Impact of Television Media on the Endorsement of Aging Stereotypes written by Carly E. Pullen and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ageism is defined as the stereotyping and prejudices held toward older adults and the aging process (Butler, 1969). Across the literature, an older adult refers to anyone over the age of 65. Research suggests that people stigmatize older adults in both positive and negative ways, which provides the basis for stereotypes to arise. Although there are more negative adjectives assigned to older adults, both positive and negative adjectives are assigned. Fiske, Cuddy, and Glick (2007) found that older adults are most often categorized as warm and incompetent. The present study examined how video clips from Netflix’s Grace and Frankie influence how people feel about older adults. Participants were randomly assigned to view either a stereotype congruent (warm and incompetent) or stereotype challenged (cold and competent) clip for a male or female character from Grace and Frankie. The stereotype challenged condition showed older adult characters as cold and competent (capable), while the stereotype congruent condition showed older adult characters as warm or incompetent. After viewing the clips participants completed an adjective endorsement task regarding the stigmatization of older adults. Those who viewed the stereotype congruent clips endorsed more warmth/incompetence adjectives stereotypes, while those who viewed the stereotype challenged clips endorsed adjectives less strongly. Results also showed that those who viewed the female older adult video clips endorsed more incompetence adjectives. However, the current study did not find the same for the endorsement of warmth adjectives, when viewing female older adults.

Download or read book Aging and Disability written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2018-07-06 with total page 103 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many different groups of people are subject to stereotypes. Positive stereotypes (e.g., "older and wiser") may provide a benefit to the relevant groups. However, negative stereotypes of aging and of disability continue to persist and, in some cases, remain socially acceptable. Research has shown that when exposed to negative images of aging, older persons demonstrate poor physical and cognitive performance and function, while those who are exposed to positive images of aging (or who have positive self-perceptions of aging) demonstrate better performance and function. Furthermore, an individual's expectations about and perceptions of aging can predict future health outcomes. To better understand how stereotypes affect older adults and individuals with disabilities, the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, with support from AARP, convened a public workshop on October 10, 2017. This publication summarizes the presentations and discussions from the workshop.

Book excerpt: “Wow. This book totally rocks. It arrived on a day when I was in deep confusion and sadness about my age. Everything about it, from my invisibility to my neck. Within four or five wise, passionate pages, I had found insight, illumination, and inspiration. I never use the word empower, but this book has empowered me.” —Anne Lamott, New York Times bestselling author Author, activist, and TED speaker Ashton Applewhite has written a rousing manifesto calling for an end to discrimination and prejudice on the basis of age. In our youth obsessed culture, we’re bombarded by media images and messages about the despairs and declines of our later years. Beauty and pharmaceutical companies work overtime to convince people to purchase products that will retain their youthful appearance and vitality. Wrinkles are embarrassing. Gray hair should be colored and bald heads covered with implants. Older minds and bodies are too frail to keep up with the pace of the modern working world and olders should just step aside for the new generation. Ashton Applewhite once held these beliefs too until she realized where this prejudice comes from and the damage it does. Lively, funny, and deeply researched, This Chair Rocks traces her journey from apprehensive boomer to pro-aging radical, and in the process debunks myth after myth about late life. Explaining the roots of ageism in history and how it divides and debases, Applewhite examines how ageist stereotypes cripple the way our brains and bodies function, looks at ageism in the workplace and the bedroom, exposes the cost of the all-American myth of independence, critiques the portrayal of elders as burdens to society, describes what an all-age-friendly world would look like, and offers a rousing call to action. It’s time to create a world of age equality by making discrimination on the basis of age as unacceptable as any other kind of bias. Whether you’re older or hoping to get there, this book will shake you by the shoulders, cheer you up, make you mad, and change the way you see the rest of your life. Age pride!
Download or read book The Golden Age of Women on Primetime Television written by Alexander Cameron Sink and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 54 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To determine how portrayals of men and women differ on primetime television, a quantitative content analysis was conducted. A one-week composite of primetime television programming across nine broadcast and cable networks was randomly sampled, yielding 89 programs and 1,254 characters. This study uses the stereotype content model as a framework for the content analysis of media figures. Consistent with prior findings, women were significantly underrepresented on primetime TV when compared to men. Statistical analyses were run examining gender differences on variables related to warmth, competence, and traditional sex stereotypes. Overall, findings suggest that contrary to popular belief, the current state of primetime television does not represent a "golden age" for women. Though it appears some gender stereotypes have declined when compared to previous decades, others (e.g., dominant men, sexually provocative women) have persisted.
