Longevity increased by positive self-perceptions of aging. (2002, result): “A panel of judges who did not know the age and priming group of the older participants described handwriting samples from the negatively primed group as significantly deteriorated, compared with baseline, whereas those participants who received positive primes were rated as significantly more accomp”
Mind matters: cognitive and physical effects of aging self-stereotypes. (2003, unknown): “As an example, although handwriting is an expressive behavior that is thought to operate outside conscious control (Allport & Vernon, 1933), it was shaped by the age primes (Levy, 2000).”
Gender Stereotypes and Women's Reports of Liking and Ability in Traditionally Masculine and Feminine Occupations (2008, background): “For example, older adults, but not younger adults, who were primed with negative aging stereotypes performed more poorly on memory tasks (Levy, 1996, 2003) and had poorer handwriting (Levy, 2000) than did older adults who were primed with positive aging stereotypes.”
Stereotype Embodiment (2009, background): “Individuals exposed to the negative-agestereotype primes produced handwriting that was rated, compared to samples produced before exposure, as older and as showing a significant increase in deteriorating, senile, and shaky, whereas those exposed to the positive-age-stereotypes primes had handwriting”
Implicit Ingroup Favoritism, Outgroup Favoritism, and Their Behavioral Manifestations (2004, background): “…adults function in everyday life: exposure to negative (compared to positive) age stereotypes hampered older adults’ handwriting, which became shaky and characteristic of physically debilitated people (Levy, 2000b), and hampered the speed and energy with which they walked (Hausdorffet al., 1999).”
Progress on Understanding Ageism (2016, background): “At the same time, research needs to consider the intervening roles that prevalent stereotypes play on care providers as well as directly on older persons as ageism can influence people’s cognitive, mental, and physical health (e.g., Abrams et al., 2006; Hausdorff et al., 1999; Hess et al., 2003; Lam”
Longitudinal benefit of positive self-perceptions of aging on functional health. (2002, background): “Older individuals who were randomly assigned to a positive stereotype of aging subliminal priming intervention demonstrated better memory performance, more controlled handwriting, faster walking, stronger will to live, and a lower cardiovascular response to stress, as compared with those randomly as”
“How good are you in math?” The effect of gender stereotypes on students’ recollection of their school marks (2007, unknown): “Parallel Wndings emerged among older adults on a vast array of measures (see HausdorV, Levy, & Wei, 1999; Levy, 2000; Levy, Ashman, & Dror, 1999; Levy, HausdorV, Hencke, & Wei, 2000).”
Stereotypes of Aging: Their Effects on the Health of Older Adults (2015, background): “Results from numerous experimental studies conducted by Levy and colleagues to testmemory, hand writing skills, and walking ability indicated that subliminal exposure to negative age stereotypes can negatively affect (or lead to no changes in) performance in these domains in older adults, while impl”
Memory Performance of Late Middle–Aged Adults: Contrasting Self–Stereotyping and Stereotype Threat Accounts of Assimilation to Age Stereotypes (2006, background): “Subliminal activation of age stereotypes has been found to affect older individuals’ handwriting (Levy, 2000), cardiovascular stress (Levy, Hausdorff, Hencke, & Wei, 2000), will to live (Levy, Ashman, & Dror, 1999–2000), walking speed, and arm swing time (Hausdorff, Levy, & Wei, 1999).”
