Implicit Ingroup Favoritism, Outgroup Favoritism, and Their Behavioral Manifestations (2004, background): “…yet another domain in which a disadvantaged social group is known to show outgroup favoritism: older adults implicitly favor young people and show relative bias against the elderly to the same extent as young adults (Levy and Banaji, 2002; Mellott and Greenwald, 1999; Nosek et al., 2002a).”
Mind matters: cognitive and physical effects of aging self-stereotypes. (2003, positive): “Most of the studies have focused on implicit race and gender stereotypes, but a growing set of studies has been examining implicit age stereotyping (for a review, see Levy & Banaji, 2002).”
Longitudinal benefit of positive self-perceptions of aging on functional health. (2002, background): “Research has shown that when speaking to older adults, younger people tend to automatically adopt patronizing language, which includes shorter words and sentences, and older individuals may change their language accordingly (Hummert, 1999; Williams & Giles, 1998; for reviews of the literature on age”
Warmth and Competence As Universal Dimensions of Social Perception: The Stereotype Content Model and the BIAS Map (2008, background): “Pity implicitly involves condescension (i.e., disrespect) and can therefore lead to dismissive behaviors, such as the patronizing speech and poor medical treatment often afforded to elderly people (e.g., Pasupathi and Lockenhoff, 2002).”
The Risks of Ageism Model: How Ageism and Negative Attitudes toward Age Can Be a Barrier to Active Aging (2017, background): “Elder speak is similar to displaced baby talk, denoted by high pitch, slow rate of speaking, and simpler sentence structures (Pasupathi & Lockenhoff, 2002).”
Visible and invisible ageing: beauty work as a response to ageism (2008, background): “personal inflexibility, asexuality, impotency, and unhappiness (Nelson 2002; Palmore 1999).”
The portrayal of older people in prime time television series: the match with gerontological evidence (2004, result): “This finding corroborates the results of earlier studies (Cassata and Irwin 1997; Robinson and Skill 1995), and reverses ubiquitous negative old age stereotypes (Nelson 2002).”
Age-segregation in later life: an examination of personal networks (2004, positive): “The prevalence of agestereotypes in society hinders the formation of close non-kin relationships between older and younger people (Bytheway 1995; Hummert et al. 1994; Nelson 2002).”
Responsibility for implicit bias (2012, neutral): “Moreover, other implicit biases target gender, sexuality, age, or disability (Cooley, Payne, Loersch, & Lei, 2014; Levy & Banaji, 2002; Valian, 1999; Wilson & Scior, 2014).”
Older workers motivation to continue to work: five meanings of age: A conceptual review (2008, background): “Further, Hwalek, Firestone, and Hoffman (1982) have argued that the social pressure resulting from age norms is the strongest factor in the aging process and the decision to retire (see also McCann & Giles, 2002).”
Informal workplace learning: An exploration of age differences in learning competence. (2010, methodology): “Older workers are often perceived as resistant to change and slow in learning new material (Nelson, 2002).”
