摘要

对衰老和衰老焦虑的刻板印象很常见，当内化时，会导致身体和心理上的不良后果。因此，老年人可能会认为他们已经度过了最好的时光。本研究探讨年龄歧视和老化焦虑对积极自我发展的阻碍作用。使用Amazon Mechanical Turk （MTurk）招募年龄在19至77岁之间的参与者（n = 360）（M = 39, SD = 15.9），并完成年龄歧视，衰老焦虑的测量，并被要求确定他们何时已经或将成为他们最好的自己。随着年龄的增长，内化了更多年龄歧视和更多衰老焦虑的成年人，特别是外表和对失去的恐惧，将他们最好的自己与过去的某个时间联系起来。这些发现支持了一种观点，即随着年龄的增长，年龄歧视和衰老焦虑的内化可能会适得其反。

Attitudes About Aging and Beliefs About When you Have Been or Will be Your Best Self.

Stereotypes about aging and aging anxieties are common and when internalized are related to poor physical and psychological outcomes. As a result, older adults may view themselves as having their best years behind them. The present study investigates ageism and aging anxiety as barriers to positive self-development. Participants (n = 360) between ages of 19 and 77 years old (M = 39, SD = 15.9) were recruited using Amazon Mechanical Turk (MTurk) and completed measures of Ageism, Aging Anxiety, and were asked to identify when they have been or will be their Best Self. With increasing age, adults with more internalized ageism and more aging anxiety, specifically physical appearance and fear of loss, identified their Best Self with a time in the past. These findings support the idea that internalization of ageism and aging anxiety can be counterproductive for expectations for growth as one ages.

期刊介绍： These are some of the broad questions with which the International Journal of Aging and Human Development is concerned. Emphasis is upon psychological and social studies of aging and the aged. However, the Journal also publishes research that introduces observations from other fields that illuminate the "human" side of gerontology, or utilizes gerontological observations to illuminate in other fields.
