Abstract

These studies tested whether ageism affects the future time perspective (FTP) of older adults. Ageism occurs when someone is classified as “old” and is judged or treated differently as a result. To mimic this, we recruited participants (aged 50+) from Amazon’s Mechanical Turk. We made their age salient, exposed them to negative aging stereotypes, and asked them to complete Carstensen and Lang’s (1996) FTP Scale. Across multiple studies, participants assigned to the ageism conditions rated their futures as having fewer opportunities. This effect was mediated by mood and did not occur for younger adult participants. In addition, as the personal experiences of older adults with ageism increased, their perception of futures opportunities decreased. Thus, ageism reduces the future opportunities older adults see for themselves.

年龄歧视影响老年人的未来时间观
这些研究测试了年龄歧视是否会影响老年人的未来时间观。当某人被归类为“老年人”并因此受到不同的评判或待遇时,就会出现年龄歧视。为了模拟这一点,我们从亚马逊的土耳其机器人中招募了50岁以上的参与者。我们让他们的年龄显著化,让他们接触消极的衰老刻板印象,并要求他们完成Carstensen和Lang (1996) FTP量表。在多项研究中,被分配到年龄歧视条件下的参与者认为他们的未来机会更少。这种影响是由情绪介导的,并没有发生在年轻的成年参与者身上。此外,随着年龄歧视老年人个人经历的增加,他们对未来机会的感知下降。因此,年龄歧视减少了老年人自己看到的未来机会。
