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 Advertising in the Aging Society written by Florian Kohlbacher and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-04-08 with total page 179 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Population aging is a powerful megatrend affecting many countries around the world. This demographic shift has vast effects on societies, economies and businesses, and thus also for the advertising industry. Advertising in the Aging Society presents insights from a large-scale content analysis as well as questionnaire surveys among advertising practitioners and consumers in Japan. As the most aged society in the world, Japan lends itself as particularly suitable to study the implications of population aging. This book shows that older people, and especially older women, are highly underrepresented in advertising and are generally portrayed in stereotypical, albeit not necessarily unfavorable ways. This is despite the fact that advertising practitioners have a generally positive view towards using older models, even though only for an older target audience. Finally the book explore how both younger and older consumers perceive the representation of older people in advertising as stereotypical and partly negative, and are willing to boycott companies portraying older people negatively.
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.

Download or read book Digital Media Youth and Credibility written by Miriam J. Metzger and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2008 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The difficulties in determining the quality of information on the Internet--in particular, the implications of wide access and questionable credibility for youth and learning. Today we have access to an almost inconceivably vast amount of information, from sources that are increasingly portable, accessible, and interactive. The Internet and the explosion of digital media content have made more information available from more sources to more people than at any other time in human history. This brings an infinite number of opportunities for learning, social connection, and entertainment. But at the same time, the origin of information, its quality, and its veracity are often difficult to assess. This volume addresses the issue of credibility--the objective and subjective components that make information believable--in the contemporary media environment. The contributors look particularly at youth audiences and experiences, considering the implications of wide access and the questionable credibility of information for youth and learning. They discuss such topics as the credibility of health information online, how to teach credibility assessment, and public policy solutions. Much research has been done on credibility and new media, but little of it focuses on users younger than college students. Digital Media, Youth, and Credibility fills this gap in the literature.
