Abstract

Background: This study examined the relationship between Type D personality and ageism in young adults, and evaluated the role of protective and risk factors. Methods: Two hundred and forty-seven community volunteers (M age = 31.8 years) reported online on age-related attitudes, Type D personality, and on measures of well-being. Results: A significant correlation was found between ageist attitudes and the tendency toward Type D personality. Both Type D personality and ageism correlated negatively with all the well-being measures. Perceived social support (PSS) partially down-mediated the association between Type D personality and ageism. A three-way interaction was found among individuals with Type D personality. Low PSS and low self-esteem were associated with an elevation of ageism compared to those with low PSS and high self-esteem. Discussion: The current research suggests that self-esteem and PSS are protective against ageism, and might be good targets for psychological interventions in order to mitigate ageism, particularly among individuals with Type D personality.

年龄歧视与 D 型人格：自尊和感知到的社会支持的保护作用

研究背景本研究探讨了 D 型人格与年轻人年龄歧视之间的关系，并评估了保护性因素和风险因素的作用。研究方法247 名社区志愿者（平均年龄为 31.8 岁）在线报告了与年龄相关的态度、D 型人格以及幸福感测量指标。结果发现年龄歧视态度与 D 型人格倾向之间存在明显的相关性。D 型人格和年龄歧视与所有幸福感测量值均呈负相关。感知社会支持（PSS）在一定程度上降低了 D 型人格与年龄歧视之间的关联。在 D 型人格的个体中发现了一种三向交互作用。与低 PSS 和高自尊的人相比，低 PSS 和低自尊与年龄歧视的增加有关。讨论：目前的研究表明，自尊和 PSS 对年龄歧视具有保护作用，可能是心理干预的良好目标，以减轻年龄歧视，尤其是对 D 型人格者。
